Jacksonville's 'Dissing the Gator Navy

The retiree community in Jacksonville is in max whine about the possibility of Big Navy replacing Big John with a big deck. From the story...

While [retired RADM] Delaney said an amphibious assault ship isn't inferior, he did compare it to a minor league baseball club vs. the major league prestige of a carrier.

Remember the golden rule, Admiral? You should be happy with whatever the Navy gives you! And never forget, if it weren't for the Surface Navy, you'd be in the Air Force.
