"We are having some gunnery exercises. Did you ever see these little drones that they shoot at. Well they are a little airplane that is controlled by radio by a fellow aboard this ship. They are about ten (10) feet long and have a wingspan of about the same length. Well today they lost one at sea. I mean it got so far from the ship that they could not see where it was to guide it back to the ship."
