Too bad for you real warships use passive failsafes, so as it is you've only managed to temporarily fuxx0r those ships until they can restart their reactors.

Marina appointed me Secretary of the Navy. You have a choice of either UnSecNav or ComBuShips. Take your pick.

Silly man, I had more than enough time to ensure that my plan would work. As a parting token of my esteem for this regime, allow me to show you the future of this Navy under it's new administration:

It looks like Ice has seized control as SecNav. You're probably SecNav now, and Sea Skimmer head of BuShips or whatever.

I think so. You also get to boss around the Marine Corps.

Why do you think I delegated "dealing with the Marines" to the Undersecretary? ;)

My having you predecessor killed for incompetence? :D


Some preliminary recommendations for the Coast Guard:
  1. Replace the cutter on the Great Lakes on 1 to 1 basis and reopen as many Coast Guard Air Stations as possible as well. Both have been cut to foolishly low levels.
  2. Build as many new deep sea cutters (preferablly armed) as possible for operations in the Gulf of Mexico. They'll be used to combat drug smugglers and to keep illegal immigrants under control (exact instruction will come from the President).
  3. Acquire P-3s for the same patrol duties in the Gulf
And am I still in charge of Customs?

The Coast Guard was made part of Homeland Security very recently, before which it was part of the department of Transportation.

That means as Director of Homeland Security, the Coasties work for me. :twisted:
