#4 This thing is so cool. A giant radar unit that can just scoot around the seas to anywhere it's needed.
Where will it end up? Somewhere in the middle of the ocean, ringed by frigates and destroyers, and maybe a sub.

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
