Guess its a warm seasonal uniform.


A brand-new U.S. Navy warship has not moved from Montreal since Christmas Eve and will spend the winter stuck in Canada due to cold and ice.

The USS Little Rock – unveiled in a ceremony on Dec. 16 in Buffalo, New York and attended by nearly 9,000 people – has not moved far since due to adverse weather conditions that kept the warship trapped at bay in Canada, the Toronto Star (https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2018/01/21/us-navy-warship-to-spend-winter-in-montreal-due-to-icy-weather.html) reported.

The warship (http://www.foxbusiness.com/features/2017/12/16/uss-little-rock-us-navy-adds-440m-advanced-combat-warship-to-fleet.html) known as a Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) cost $440 million to build and stretches 387 feet in length and weighs 15 tons more than the Statue of Liberty. It is capable of traveling more than 46 miles per hour.

"It is capable of traveling more than 46 miles per hour."

Evidence to the contrary suggesting otherwise.

I'm sure the Canadians trapped us for revenge of the 1812 war...and yes, I was around for that one too.

I just think it is in their nature, being a nation built on trapping, they can’t help it!
