U.S. Navy reroutes ship's commissioning outta Mississippi

[Redfish]

Missouri legislature has submitted the same type of bill, as has other states.....

Can't dock a ship in Missouri. Maybe they're safe.

The military has had container ships, destroyer escorts, submarines and escort carriers built on the Mississippi. The latter terrified Illinois, which thought Iowa was going to invade it.

Poor Illinois! Soggy from NOLA says the same thing I heard when I visited there--the river is too shallow for the big ships just upriver from New Orleans. Thanks for the new information. Apparently it's not as shallow as I was told.

Its not the depth of the river, its the clearance under the bridges.

geez, lefties, get a life. the commissioning was moved because of the name of the ship, not the Miss law.

you fools just pull this crap out of your asses.

Yep... one of the main obstacles is the Huey P. Long bridge in Baton Rouge.

the Huey is in New Orleans, but you are correct.

Then why all the shipping built at Evansville, etc., Soggy, and elswhere on the Mississippi and the Ohio?

They had a way to get around the bridge if it was up in those days.

We are talking about an LPD class naval vessel, not a barge or a tugboat, your ignorance just keeps popping up.

There is one in BR.... it is the Hwy 190 Bridge. And yes, there is the one here in JP which is Hwy 90.

I did not know that the two bridges had the same name, thanks.

Says one of the most ignorant members of the Board. You keep saying stupid things. LST's were built and destroyer escorts were built. These are sizable ships, you moron. I am writing about WWII. Will you focus instead of knee jerking?

We have a corrupt government more concerned with social engineering than the well being of states. It's disgusting that our shitstain of a government does this.

Republicans have made Mississippi the number one working class poor State in the nation. If you want too bring up 'well being,' perhaps Republicans need to look in the mirror.

How did the Republicans do that? Was it all the cotton plantations? Or is it that they are more conservative types and tend to vote Republican? You regularly demonstrate that you are too intellectually feeble to understand the word around you.

I do understand the 'word' around me. My point is, If you live in a glass house, don't throw stones. ie; The wage price gap for the middle class is a Republican objective.

Ya gotta laugh when these idiots tell you that capital ships can sail to Saint Louis even if it tragically is the dumbing down of Americans.

The monetary loss to Mississippi for the United States Navy holding the formal commissioning ceremony for the USS Portland is small potatoes compared to many-many other losses these stupid bigot laws will end up costing the bigot states but-----but even the Navy... ouch, Mississippi flaming?

U.S. Navy reroutes to Oregon for ship's commissioning
By Jen Hayden
Apr 12, 2016

The USS Portland is a "San Antonio-class amphibious transport vessel currently being built at the Huntington Ingalls Shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi." Some Portland groups had previously been pushing for the ship to make it’s way to Portland, Oregon for the commissioning ceremony, but the new Mississippi law legalizing discrimination against its LGBT residents and visitors was the straw that broke the camel’s back:

After Portland Mayor Charlie Hales announced he refuses to travel to Mississippi next month to commission the USS Portland over the state's anti-gay laws, the Navy has announced the commissioning will take place in Portland

<snip>
.

From the same people who put women in tin can subs for 6 months with a bunch of 18-26 year old men and are shocked to hear of sexual misconduct occuring.

A lot of off topic replies so far. I will reply to this post by saying this type of law sets Mississippi up for a massive lawsuit.

Extremely ghey , but the Navy already knew that from their homersexual partner,, the USMC..

Is it a constitutional right to use the restroom of your preference?

 

[Seawytch]

Why do you insist on passing laws that require he use the women's room? You don't want him to break the law do you? He'd be breaking the law if he used the women's room since he's got a vagina and it says "girl" on his birth certificate. You want him to break the law and use the men's room?

Let trans people use the restroom of the gender they identify with and there is no problem.

I haven't actually passed ANY laws. Do you even know where you are???? Nobody inspects genitals before you use the facilities. Keep your deviancy to yourself.

Cool...you going to go on record being opposed to laws that require someone to use the restroom of the gender on their birth certificate?

You can't read. Plus you don't have an honest bone in your putrid body.

I can read fine. You said that you haven't passed anything. So do you support these kind of laws that require people to use the restroom on their birth certificate or not?

Since I'm so dishonest, perhaps you can link to a lie I've told?

It actually started out as something else and warped into capital ships in St. Louis...

Notice how, back in the American Revolutionary dayz, the outhouse didn't designate a particular sex..Everyone used the same place for excrement.........disposal..
