Atheist Naval Dispatch[/u]
Recipient: Admiral Trevelyan Message: During a routine patrol, we have sighted what appears to be a boat trip organised for local youths by the Church of England. Requesting orders on how to proceed, I feel pretty mean about sinking them, but I figure if I actually get a battle the admirality might see fit to give me more money to outfit the ANS Droit sans Dieu. Some weapons would be nice. Or an outboard motor.
Dispatch Sender: Captain Sandafluffoid, ANS Droit sans Dieu

Ooh, ooh, me too. I don't know if they're still in much use, but I'll captain a destroyer. I'm all about anti-submarine warfare. Lieutenant Commander MaybeNever in command of the ANS Inevitably Successful In All Circumstances, reporting for duty!

Captain Warden
Ship: ANS Jolly Cheshire (Destroyer refitted for boarding enemy ships. That is right, I am goin' pirate XD). What better way to aid the navy than to capture enemy supply ships and vessels?

This is Commander Meshakhad. I think I have a solution for reaching inland targets...
The ANSS Carl Sagan is the Atheist Navy's first starship. It is capable of either scientific exploration, straight-up combat, or psychological warfare. Basic stats:
Tonnage: Equivalent to a destroyer Power Source: Fusion reactor (not willing to mess around with antimatter at this stage) Engines: Ion drive and ion thrusters for sublight travel, can pull a maximum of 4 Gs. Superluminal travel possible via wormhole generator. Use of wormhole generator in atmosphere is not recommended. Physical armament: Railguns, missile launchers, laser point-defense system Psychological armament: Snark emitters, lolcat generators, shock site links, air-to-strawman missiles Crew amenities: Sushi bar, soundproof rooms, broadband internet via ansible, ungodly powerful computers
Crew: Commanding Officer: Commander Meshakhad Weapons Officer: Lieutenant Pasta

Might as well: Captain Snoodles of the ANS Enlightenment, an enlightenment class nuclear aircraft carrier. This fine vessel boasts a top speed of 65km/h, is 426m in length and displaces 145 000 tonnes. It holds up to 100 fixed-wing aircraft as well as an array of rotary wing aircraft and an armament of missiles (both ship-to-ship and ship-to-air) and torpedos as well as standard close-in systems. This ship is powered by three nuclear reactors. Alrighty, who wants to join me? I need pilots and lots of them! Pilot Clown of B2- Spirit, reporting for duty.

As an atheist in the Navy, I feel compelled to volunteer. Someone point me towards a submarine, that's the only way to fight at sea!

Dammit, I'm a Warfare officer, not an engineer! Leave fiddling with the clanky stuff back aft to the hairy men in overalls.

Slight problem I just noticed, if we're a navy, how exactly do we bring enlightenment, logic and reason to people who live inland? Aircraft carriers launching planes carrying logic and reason bombs. Marc
