- USS BILL CLINTON
-
- The USS William Jefferson Clinton (CVS1) set sail today
from its home port of Vancouver, BC.
-
-
-
-
- The ship is the first of its kind in the Navy and is
a standing legacy to President Bill Clinton 'for his foresight in military
budget cuts' and his conduct while holding the (formerly dignified) office
of President.
-
- The ship is constructed nearly entirely from recycled
aluminum and is completely solar powered with a top speed of 5 knots.
-
- It boasts an arsenal comprised of one (unarmed) F14
Tomcat or one (unarmed) F18 Hornet aircraft which, although they cannot
be launched on the 100 foot flight deck, form a very menacing presence.
-
- As a standing order there are no firearms allowed on
board.
-
- This crew, like the crew aboard the USS Jimmy Carter,
is specially trained to avoid conflicts and appease any and all enemies
of the United States at all costs.
-
- An onboard Type One DNC Universal Translator can send
out messages of apology in any language to anyone who may find America
offensive. The number of apologies are limitless and though some may
seem hollow and disingenuous, the Navy advises all apologies will sound
very sincere.
-
- In times of conflict, the USS Clinton has orders to
seek refuge in Canada .
-
-
-
- USS BARACK OBAMA
-
-
-
-
- Don't ask.
