Because they could use a trampoline to fling them back and we’d end up the the biggest game of tennis
They said why not, they didn’t ask for you to give extra reasons why we should
And most important of all - and most tragically ironic - our Nation could have afforded, and can afford now, the steps necessary to close the trampoline gap. But our task now is not to fix the blame for the past, but to fix a course for the future.
-JFK
That's why we have to start flinging them now. Before the Zs close the trampoline gap. Sure they'd fling a few warships back now. I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed, but it would be minimal casualties. 30 or 40 million tops. Depending on the breaks.
Have you ever seen a commie drink a glass of water?
No, general, I don't believe I have.
I'd watch that.
I'm confused, what's the reason we aren't doing this yet?
We don't have enough NCD on the Senate committee on defense appropriations yet.
yet
Yeeeetttttt
Physics, and money.
Damn, that's a high quality simulation. Those tasteful fractures, wonderful.
Is it? I feel like the ship would basically pancake in on itself at first impact.
Yea the first impact is not pancakey enough. And the second impact is too stone crumbly.
Also the chain is uncanny.
But this is still amazing and way better than anything I could do in 100 lifetimes.
They likely took some liberties to have the back half crush the second building. That chain really does stand out though
Dunno, I haven't catapulted a warship recently but it feels right?
I haven't catapulted a warship recently
Slacker.
I can't wait for my parents to ask me if this facebook "attack footage" is real
Ze French had ze right idéa!
RUN AWAY!
Are we stupid?
Yes
Are we crazy?
Also yes
I'm pretty sure crazy is less predictable that stupid, fwiw.
Most rational argument of dictators
I believe it was James Brown who said, "I don't know karate, but I know ker-azy."
Go play red alert 3 and you can do exactly that. Even better, you can throw the enemies warships at them!
Oh my god that was so cool. The magnet satellite, eight?
Sorry but I don't play anything past Red Alert 2
Counterpoint. SPaAaCh!
This is the comically stupid shit I come here for
Constitution weighs 1,900 tons at present day. That's 13.2 more ugga duggas than I calculated. It's frasible. We'll need all the Honest John missiles and 3,000 kg of homegrown tomatoes.
The Constitution isnt decommissioned you dumb yuppie. Chuck the USS Dolphin at em.
Cause we're not at Warhammer 40k levels of insanity... yet.
Angry Marines energy
You mean strategy?
"THIS! IS WHAT HAPPENS... WHEN YOU USE A WARSHIP AS A BASKETBALL!"
The Holdo Maneuver?
Argh, I'd blocked off that memory. Is it a pout and a sigh? No! ;)
This is hella cool.
USS Constitution is a warship and still listed on the Naval Register. Fling her and the math gets much easier, nerds, get to crunching. She weighs around, what, 400 tons fully ballasted? Imagine the impact of the mainmast, smashing through the roof of that "civilian administration* building we memed about in March 2022, the one with anti aircraft on the roof. ANTI-AIRCRAFT. They're fooked!
Ship propellers are outrageously big and heavy.
Just get them spinning and drop them in like beyblades!
Speedily, in our days
Because they could steal our tech? I'd say fill them with explosives
New Jersey landing on Zs,in all her glory, is not enough? She needs to be filled with explosives? I'm in awe. The mental image is hard to conjure.

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.
