    I avoided it and you should not have admitted being in the Battleship movie - it tarnishes your reputation...

    Haha, I know, such a terrible movie... but hey, its not like we asked to be in it, they asked us. Fortunatly none of our sailors were in it... just our ship. All the sailors in Transformers were really us however. Its weird, that one had no props or anything... All just CG so they just had our crew pretend and filled it all in ha.

    Welcome!

    That's one bad-a$$ Destroyer you're on.

    Battleships are old, out-dated relics, Destroyers on the other hand are the modern Navy equipped and armed various ways to kick some butt. Way to go apostle.
