| #3 To the best of my recollection, this is the first actual "mission" that an LCS has undertaken. I hope it makes it back to port under its own power. And out of curiosity, I wonder which "Mission Module" this LCS is currently equipped with -- Surface Warfare? |

| #2 Advice to the Chinese hegemonists - don't mess a US ship named after an Hispanic labor leader and all around civil rights hero. The liberal media thinks a lot of Ceasar, keep your powder dry on this one. USNS Cesar Chavez (T-AKE-14), a Lewis and Clark-class dry cargo ship, is the first ship operated by the United States Navy to be named for Cesar Chavez (1927–93), labor leader and civil rights activist. Chávez joined the Navy at the age of seventeen in 1944 during World War II, and served for two years. |

| #1 USNS Cesar Chavez, while operated by the U.S. Navy, is not what I'd call a warship. Monty is a LCS - not much better but something. The entire LCS thing has been ....suboptimal to say the least. Give me 2 or 3 CGs and some DDGs. Or just 1 SSN. |
