Chester Upland School District Superintendent Dr. Craig Parkinson said they were expecting a delivery of textbooks and supplies for the start of the school year, but instead, something else arrived at the loading dock Friday.

Six guns were inside the package, officials said.

A Little Naval Gazing

UK’s Biggest Warship, HMS Prince of Wales, Breaks Down Off South Coast Shortly After Setting Sail for US
news.sky.com| Sunday 28 August | Deborah Haynes

The UK’s biggest warship has broken down off the south coast shortly after setting sail on what had been billed as a “landmark mission” to the United States.

HMS Prince of Wales, the second of the Royal Navy’s two aircraft carriers, was experiencing an “emerging mechanical issue”, a spokesperson said. The problem is being investigated.

The British aren’t coming! The British aren’t coming!

I was going to go all Nelson Muntz, but we ourselves had two warships collide in easily avoidable accidents, and Russia had the pride of its fleet catch fire in port. And . . .

When the Bonhomme Richard caught fire on a Sunday morning in July 2020, the firefighting response got off to a slow start, making it difficult to contain the fire. The ship ultimately burned for five days, and the Navy determined it would have to scrap the ship.

Retired Vice Adm. Rich Brown, who was in the role when the fire occurred, has told Defense News U.S. 3rd Fleet should have been more involved in the firefighting effort, according to his understanding of the chain of command described in a key fire safety document, but [Third Fleet] declined to take action that morning. Brown said he stepped in to fill a leadership void, but received a secretarial letter of censure on July 15 for his role in the fire.

But we got those bathroom and shower assignments figured out yet?
