Yes, these are real ships in commission with the United States Navy. They're small. Tiny. Baby ships. And they're tremendously useful and strong for their size.

    Beaver: I'll protect you, Constitution! Constitution: Yes, sweetie, I'm sure you will.

    Pride of a nation, beast made of steel. Beaver in motion. Queen of the ocean. She was made to rule the waves across the seven seas!

  • @JAK359PB
    Hahah that whole little conversation went straight down the Azura Lane rabbit hole... now I need to watch the West Virginia vid again 😂🤣😂🤣
  • @Isolder74
    The one with the Constitution is there to assist leaving the pier if the ship ever needs to as larger tugs would possibly damage the wooden hull.
  • @joshuabessire9169
    That may be the smallest ship in the Navy, but I saw where the Coast Guard deployed a floatie unicorn against a shark.

    Is this YOUR birthday post? They're cute, and useful! There's a probably false (but you never know!) story about a trawler that was doing minesweeping (and fisheries protection) duties called.... the "Sally Lunn". It was never officially a Royal Navy ship (the nearest it got was being under HM Coastguard), but it was a marked ship, because (can anybody guess?) Moustache Man put a bounty on it after the sinking of the "Bismarck". Let that sink in, Square Nostril Hair Man threw a fit after the sinking of the "Bismarck", and ordered the sinking of the "Sally Lunn"! (A "Bismarck" in the UK is an iced bread bun with a bit of marzipan in it, a "Sally Lunn" is the same iced (frosted?) bread bun without the marzipan. Capiche?). The German Navy never got near it. Also, when is your BR Class 27 video?
