When they sent her to Alaska to be out of the way, the ship actually, accidentally, fired a round into the base commander's yard. No shit.

I know right? It's bad enough accidentally firing the round, now where is the worst place it could land?

"Though typical of its class, it had a fierce reputation. Wherever its crew went, people squealed, 'Don’t shoot! We’re Republicans!' Which wasn’t meant to be funny."
"The WDP aimed, fired, and missed – obviously because they weren’t firing at an American target."
I'm just going to go ahead and say it; this story was the high point of this evening. Those two exerts from the story owned me. Thanks for sharing!
