The admiral says they don't move fast enough for water skiing.

Maybe they need the cash to pay for the repairs to Paul Allen's old yacht they bought which fell over in drydock?

We have some buyers on the phone. Can't quite make out the dialect.

Clankie, actually they do. The one named for my home town, the Fort Worth, tops out at 45 knots (52 mph).
I'd buy it if they left the armament on it.

They're combat vessels? Littorally?

Navy uses a shorter name for those Combat Littoral ships and call them C-Littoral boats.

Thumbs up to Mr/Ms NoName - you deserve a Pulitzer Prize for being a cunning linguist.

They just lauched a brand new one, The Cleveland.
It collided with a tug on launch. Totally not kidding.
