After a total of ten pages, however, i was absolutely hooked! It was so incredibly fast paced. Defy the Stars gave me the urge to ship two amazing people together.
The USS Little Rock was commissioned in Buffalo, N.Y., on Dec. 16., with plans to travel to its home port at Mayport Naval Station in Florida the next day. The departure, however, was delayed three days by inclement weather on Lake Erie, according to Business Insider.
The 389-foot-long vessel eventually left Buffalo on Dec. 20. and arrived in Montreal on Dec. 27, where it was supposed to stop briefly overnight before sailing onto Nova Scotia -- yet plans for Little Rock were undermined by unforgiving cold and ice.
The original voyage to Florida will be postponed for the time being as officials have decided to wait until the ice begins to thaw, as it will keep the crew and ship safe.
'The temperatures in Montreal and throughout the transit area have been colder than normal, and included near-record low temperatures, which created significant and historical conditions in the late December, early January time frame,' Lt.-Cmdr. Courtney Hillson told USNI News.
The USS Little Rock is the tenth littoral combat ship to enter the fleet, and the fifth of the Freedom-variant.

The Freedom-class littoral combat ship, built by Lockheed Martin, has a top speed of over 40 miles per hour and carries a variety of light weapon systems, short-range missiles and anti-submarine torpedoes.
Littoral combat ships are designed to operate close to shore for patrol, interdiction, mine-countermeasures, undersea warfare operations and other missions -- operations that will have to wait for the time being for the crew of the Little Rock.
Little Fighter Ships
Marti: I started to write my first Little Fighter game in the summer of 1995. It is my first game written in C language. In this game, you run with a bunch of kids who just want to fight. You choose to be one of 11 characters, each character has 3 special moves and then you participate in an all out fight. In the game, you can play one on one, team matches or elimination tournament matches. There is up to 8 fighters simultaneously on screen controlled by up to 3 human players. The game modes include the usual championships as well as fighters divided into 2,3 or 4 groups.
This game is a DOS program which is NOT compatible to nowadays operating system (Windows Vista, Windows 7 and so on...). It is recommended to use DOSBOX (a DOS emulator) to run the game.
