#8  Yeah, Photoshopping vessels into water is tough what with all the dynamic texturing required.

#7  These nations do not have the degree of joint tactical communications necessary to anything meaningful.

At best they could just have the ships steam around a bit and have aircraft pass by. Even that might not happen.

#6  How many tow tugs will be used to pull Russian ships back to port?

#5  How to build an over:under pool?

- how many inter-fleet collisions
- how many intra-fleet collisions
- how many collisions with observer vessels

- how many non-fleet rescues
- how many inter-fleet rescues
- how many intra-fleet rescues

- how many ships depart but don't make it back to port
- how many rescue vessels don't make it back to port
- how many observer vessels don't make it back to port

Looks like a 3 head trifecta

#4  They also must learn to develop as benign an accent as possible, so that they are “intelligible to the aeronautical community.”

...hmmm...those who don't pass end up in Indian call centers?

#3  If we here at the Burg might make a suggestion:

In 2001, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) determined that English would, from then on, be the standardized language of air travel, and issued a directive that stated that all aviation personnel—pilots, flight crews, and air traffic controllers—must pass an English proficiency test. The mandatory compliance date was March 5, 2008. Not only must applicants know the appropriate aviation terminology in English, they must also be able to understand English instructions via radio, with no facial cues to prompt them. They also must learn to develop as benign an accent as possible, so that they are “intelligible to the aeronautical community.”
