A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

We need to stop arming the Sea Peoples. They fucked up the Mediterranean once. They'll do it again.
Maybe we need a return of the sea peoples. They ended the bronze age, maybe they can end the age of stupidity...
Atlantis will rise again!
Not the Weshesh again dude
By sending these to the bottom of the ocean for coral to grow on now they are fighting climate change and habitat loss, a better use than anything Trump knows to do with them.
Also, if the US had lost as many navy aircraft to actual enemy combatants this would be triggering a mass defense industry fueled panic about being disastorously unequipped to perform basic functions but since it is a direct product of incompetence, the empty american flag brandishing rightwing defense people don't even perceive it.
I guess in a way it is uncomfortable for them to think about because it must remind them of how they are unable to truthfully grapple with their own desperate incompetence born from a desire to violently force a childlike ideology onto the world.
Secret CIA operation to supply arms to Atlantis
Why do they have a 4 digit counter?
That seems like overprovisioning.
According to this source, under fleet service highlights, there was a 5 year gap between when they were first delivered to the Navy and the first carrier deployment.
So ~1800 days when it would've been pretty hard for them to lose one. Though I'm sure they managed to do it anyway.
Thanks for the useful information.
That was my attempt at trash-talking.
So, what was the counter for that batch, 1805?
Probably. Likely the only time the fourth digit counter would've spun off 0.
There has got to be a different way to pay off old equipment.
These didn’t just fall off the deck though, right?
A wave? In the ocean? Chance in a million!
It's ok, they're out of the environment.
more wind
Shhh, you are revealing DARPA's research for a new submarine class.
So how many in total?
How many in total what?
How many F/A-18F's lost at sea
I don't think these are lost. They know where they left them. They're just hard to reach right now.
