Often we all read something that seems too incredible to be true. The US Navy is decommissioning the USS Sioux City after only 5 years of service. Even worse, more ships of this class will be laid up after a similar 5 years of service. All nine ships of this class were built to serve for at least 25 years. This move is due to “design flaws” in the ship’s class.
This has to take the cake of all of the US Government’s missteps. The total amount spent on these ships amounts to $3.25 billion. The more I think about it, the more I wonder how much money is lost due to “design flaws.” Now you might ask yourself what will happen to these nearly new ships? “Upon decommissioning, the Navy said Sioux City would be sold to foreign militaries, and its crew would receive new assignments.” Maybe the US Navy will post them on Amazon.

I’m a dreamer at heart, proudly born and raised in San Francisco—a city that covers just 49 square miles but was heaven on earth for me. Every corner of The City (as we natives affectionately call it) has been a part of my life. No area ever felt too distant. With wide eyes and an open heart, I’ve always welcomed the world around me. I find joy in creativity, wonder, and discovering new possibilities—whether that’s through international work adventures or dreaming up the next exciting idea. Even though San Francisco was my hometown, my passport has taken me to many amazing places and introduced me to wonderful people, shaping me in countless ways. I carry pieces of these experiences and friendships with me wherever I go. Above all, I treasure my family, friends, and those small, meaningful moments that keep my spirit alive and thriving. I never want my curiosity to fade away.
