These are almost always certainly fake, but lol at Louisiana for their creativity. Also, WTF Arkansas? I need more context on what that search is about.
Anyway, if my last perusal of one of these sites is very informative, the top search is incest porn, subgenre of a girl stuck in a dryer, under a bed, or in a chair. Fucking perverts, all of you. I for one am a simple man and should probably live in Colorado.
Ah so you have some weird mammory kink...

Since the U.S. Navy doesn't have any Battleships it would be hard for one to escort a carrier

MISSOURI and IOWA served in the first Gulf War, so that’s not the most egregious inaccuracy in this story.

1) No one is contacting ships 25 NM away to coordinate maneuvers and avoid collision.  

2) A US Navy ship would never communicate in Castilian Spanish over channel 16.  This conversation would happen in the international communication standard - Maritime English.  

3) Surface ships and submarines do not transit in company unless they are doing a photo op.  It would defeat the purpose of a submarine to do this. 
 

 Versions of this story have been floating around the Navy since the invention of radio.  
 

Again, it is a funny joke.

I'll leave it to you guys to breakdown the radio channels and fleet composition.  As usual, I thought of weird things at sea called maps.  

"Oh, you're headed to Iraq I see?"

"Yes."
 

"Here's what you do...head to the NW tip of Spain.  For no reason.  If something gets in your way, turn right.  You should be in the Persian Gulf.......never."

Damn you for activating my Navy pedantry further.  At sea, they are charts, not maps.  And although not the most efficient route, you could conceivably be heading down the coast of Spain to transit the Strait of Gibraltar en route to the Suez.  But yeah, none of it makes much sense.

If you paid attention dammit, my mock conversation was the guys in the light house saying (in the Usted). "I see you're headed to Iraq."  They're using maps of the coastline/lighthouse, not charts.  ;)  Plus they've been drinking beers apparently.  

And no, you don't "head down the coast of Spain to transit the Strait of Gibraltar" from Galicia.  Your chart should tell you that littoral zone isn't 'Spain', it's called Portugal.  If you must stereotype, call it the Iberian Coastline, but you don't run your fleet along "the coast of Spain" to get down to Gibraltar.  But yes Commander, otherwise...it's a perfectly valid course to get to Iraqi airspace via the Mediterranean Sea.  I just didn't want your destroyer to embarrass NATO by radioing in at the Farol de Cabo in Spanish, and insulting our Portuguese friends by asking, "Espanoles de Costa...esta es la ruta a Gibraltar, si?"  It's their coastline, they like their language way more than Spanish.  The old saying goes, "Nobody gets to the Rock but through Us (the Portuguese)."   The Portuguese were once the most vaunted Navy the world have ever known, show some respect.  ;)

All I know about all of this is that Walden seems to have replaced ROFLBOX.

The Captain isn't going to be making radio calls for navigation, despite how many movies you've watched.

For use as a deception by bombarding a fake marine landing beach, not for carrier escort duty.  I can't imagine the last time a battleship was used for that purpose.  WWII maybe.

Putting anything gun related on your car is an invitation to have it broken into.  NRA sticker, "come and take it," whatever.  It's an advertisement that there is a possibility of a firearm in the vehicle, well worth a smash and grab.  

If you're going to carry, good for you.  Just don't advertise it unless you want to periodically replace your vehicle windows.
