The ship is fine. The post is trying to claim otherwise.
The sailors, the pointless war, etc... are valid concerns.
The OmG ShIp Got WuStY... Is undermining the real problems.
Right, I get that. But that's a reaction to the meme. It is factually rusty. It's not necessarily a problem yet, but it isn't misinformation. It's just kinda small fry shit. Even the claim from trump that he's rebuilt the military twice is simply eye-rolling in nature. It's like calling him orange, it's not important, but it's true. Therefore it can't really be called misinformation.
Disinformation is probably what they're going for.
This ship is a ship in water. This happens to ships in water. We're even discussing it now and it's a non issue.... Not the actual valid points related to the ship having been there.
