"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier

Yes, God created quite a hydrodynamic design there, didn’t He?
During the second world war the American Army benefitted greatly from the mechanical knowledge of the first generation of kids who had the chance to tinker with cars in their youth. They kept the trucks rolling, the tanks in action.
Maybe the next generation will benefit greatly from their internet gaming experience. You know, in order to drive tuna fish.
Cap’n,
I must concur with Jeff. Evolution is more pre random chance not design. God DID come up with a stellar design for an aquatic hunter-killer.
Should have made it an albacore instead of bluefin.
Actually, for speed in the water and low noise signature, rather than a tuna they might consider the humble shortfin Mako shark.
One thing about evolution, anything that’s been around pretty much unchanged for a million years and is still at the top of the food chain is going to be kind of difficult to improve upon.

Count me in as the YEC. I believe God created and designed allathese creatures. Which is why we call ‘em CREATures, not EVOLtures, after all.
ah, yes…
BUT, can they mount a frickin “laser” on it?
