USCGC Bertholf
I am all for virtual warship tours and, while I could do without the robotic voice over, the new United States Coast Guard Cutter Bertholf is no exception (via Information Dissemination). I post the link, however, not so much for your edification but to point out the ship is billed as a "national security cutter." And here was me thinking national security had been guaranteed by the new President's gift for the gab.
We must expect some cognitive dissonance as we transition from Bush administration newspeak to Obama administration newspeak. Except Bertholf to be re-christened-named a "oceanographic mean temperature monitor" as soon as anyone in the new White House thinks to look at those parts of the web with ".mil" in the URL.
