Then again, considering how seemingly mismanaged our country has become, this may actually be a fairly accurate title."<br /><br />And of course speaking of the F-35:<br />http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/f-35-pilot-seems-unimpressed-with-jets-x-ray-like-visio-1717500325<br /><br />I wonder what will happen to the Ohio class replacement SSBN at this rate. Probably overbudget, delayed, and lots of problems if the past record is something to go by.

None of the newly named E-Class ships operate as part of an ESG.
