#4 MM, I had the book way back in the '50s....Tom Swift Jr. and his Jet Marine.

Cutural appropriation indeed.

"...And they're driven by my wife, Morgan Fairchild, yeah, that's the ticket!"

All kidding aside, I wonder if they have ever given so much as a moment's thought to what would happen about thirty seconds after they should somehow lay a finger on one of our warships.

#6 I read every Tom Swift book but that was a long time ago. Great stuff for a boy to grow up on.

#12 One of my favorite reports from the first gulf war was a report of 2 Iraqi Zodiac patrol craft were bombed by A-6 Intruders. Sunk of course but I wonder, what bombs do you use on rubber boats?

#13 Cluster bombs?
