It's ship.

Ship, ship.

S U B S U B Great job, buddy! What did we spell today? Ship! Boat! Sub! See you next time! Hey, buddy! Let's spell some transportation words.

It does not mean the old prices are coming back.

That ship has sailed.

Your $10 sandwich went to 12.

Next year it's 12.24. Congratulations, inflation slowed.

That doesn't force a single buyer to pay them more.

But here's why the rules are everything.

When demand surges for diesel, the answer is drill, refine, ship.

and pray that the plumbing holds.

yeah well uh my my uh quick aside my wife and i uh bonded working on a tv show where they had all the magazines there and the the waiting area we would flip through all of it and it was like we would go through like in touch magazine and be like oh my gosh ben affleck is just like us look at him pumping his own gas this is before the the memes of smoking the cigarette outside dunkin don'ts this is this is a happier time it's a couple gens ago for him Anyway, we don't want to leave our other guests backstage any longer.

This is Rachel Kimsey, who is a part of X-Men 97 as Ship Slash Danger and Belladonna.

And I feel like there's other names because there's other roles.

Yeah, see.

I auditioned for Danger.

I auditioned for Belladonna.

Getting to do Ship was sort of like an evolving character, because at first I think it was just like one line.

They're like, well, we need another computer, but it has to sound like a different computer.

Today, we are anticipating the arrival of 10 vessels, which is expected to include three tankers, two container ships, two passengers, two vehicle carriers, and one row row.

We're also expecting the departure of six vessels, including three vehicle carriers, two passengers, and one container ship.

You know where to go if you need more up-to-date information throughout the day, since the Ship schedules are dynamic and always changing.

For today's tides in Seattle, we will have low tides at 0421 and 1829 with high tides at 1240 and 2204.

For the weather, we're expecting a high of 69 degrees and a low of 55 degrees here in Seattle with south wind 5 to 7 knots and mostly sunny skies.

This episode will be up on Thursday the 17th, and then will be followed, boom, boom, with two Victor shows with the great, uh, Sammy Wink.

Uh, Victor, the new Strategika, issue number 107, published by the Hoover Institution, and it's a lead essay by Admiral James O. Ellis, "A Ship's a Fool to Fight a Fort: Chokepoints, Coastal Firepower, and the New Contest for the Maritime Commons," which is all very important as we look at the chokepoint of the Straits of Hormuz.

So what, what is maritime power in this day where these chokepoints can really be choking your-

Yeah, well, we had two really distinguished admirals, uh, Gary Roughead, Chief of Naval Operations, and James Ellis, who was the, uh, admiral of the Sixth Fleet.

And there is the South China Sea Strait, there's a strait there, et cetera, et cetera.

So somebody has to control them or they become the property of, uh, countries that may not be cosmopolitan or ecumenical or whatever term, as we see with the Straits of Hormuz.

And there's-- now the danger is, as General Ellis and Roughead m-note, that the traditional Navy apparat that would intercept a ship or fire a shell across their bow or launch a Plane that, that's still effective and, but it's very expensive, and there's only one country that can do that, and that's us with 11 carrier groups.

But in the ages of cheap missiles and cheap drones, uh, it's going to be a lot more problematic, uh, how to control those straits.

Our old friend the southeast wind seems to die hard, for he still shows no signs of abdicating in favor of the northeast trades.

We seem to be sailing under an evil star like the Flying Dutchman, William Vanderdecken, who in Marriott's Phantom Ship has been beating up against a westerly gale off Cape Agulus since the middle of the 18th century, bound from Batavia to Amsterdam.

There is a considerable difference, however, between the case of the Amsterdammer and that of ourselves, for Vanderdecken had a gale of wind in his teeth, while with us, though just as much of a headwind, it is so light that it doesn't fill even the jibs or the sky sails.

We saw a large school of beautiful dolphins today, but so shy that they would not approach nearer than 75 or 100 feet.

The night was so bad that the skipper himself stood the first watch with the second mate, all hands being ordered to keep a good lookout.

Everything was going as nicely as possible under the circumstances when suddenly there was an awful shout from the watch.

Ship on the weather beam! My God, she's into us! At the same instant the skipper saw her and ordered the helmsman to put the wheel up for his life, and the next instant a giant four-masted ship rushed by so close that during an instant's lull the skipper heard the officer of the watch on the other vessel sing out, Why the hell don't you keep your lights burning? This was a bluff, for the Mandalore's lights were not only shining as brightly as the furious snow squalls would allow, but they were and are nearly three times as powerful as Lloyd calls for.

When the ship had passed, for she was bound to the eastward and swept by like a ghost, Captain Kingdon says his legs actually gave way beneath him, and it was many an hour before his hands stopped shaking and he was himself again.

Here's the one-two pitch.

Line drive to the right field of A'ship.

Picked up by Dillon.

Tories is now two for two, and that's base hit number five for the New York Yankees.
