Noah Note: STEEEEEEVE. AT THE SAME DAMN TIME AS THE PM. ON GOD DONT DO THIS TO ME. Oh we're cooking well Fam. Shits gonna get wild.
I'm confused, 2 announcements on the same day? What could it be? RFI for the corvettes?
Oh boy. Is it possible that they’re splitting the sub contract with Fuhr announcing a pacific kss-iii fleet and Carney announcing an Atlantic u212cd fleet. Can’t be…it just can’t be. Just throwing it out there. A dual announcement to announce the same thing just isn’t necessary. Less consequential announcements sure but something is definitely up. Maybe Tkms wins and Fuhr is announcing something with the Koreans as a consolation prize or vice versa. We shall see. Preparing myself to be shocked.
