"We put a tarp over the USS John McCain".
One wonders how that is done.
Guess they don't buy the tarp at their local hardware store.
They're the US Navy. They don't buy
anything at their local hardware store. How could they pay 100 times its normal price, if they did?! Besides which, they were in Japan.
But, because you are soooooooo slow, I will explain it to you: they put the tarp over where the words "USS John McCain" were, on the side of the ship.
