The Armada

It wasn't really a walk. They showed up near the train tracks, sat down at a cafe across the street, and the cops rolled up in literally three or four minutes. It’s a shame because they’re such a visible group on our side, and the other crews were already moving out.

Kudos to the younger guys in the fleet for trying.
👍

It’s a bit of a shame, really, because they were pretty easy to spot from our end, and the teams had already started moving out..

I suppose I should give credit where it's due to the younger cohort for pulling that off. 👍

👍

It’s not really my thing, but I have to say, the fleet's photos are easily the most underwhelming in the entire American scene.
Out of seven shots, you've got six showing choreography and just one with the traffic light... 🤷

It might be nice to include one where the numbers, hands in the air, and those patterns are clearly visible 👍

Out of seven photos, you guys have six showing choreography and just one with the traffic lights 🤷

I mean, you could at least include one where you can actually see the headcount, arms up in the air, and the formation patterns clearly, 👍

For real though, that whole "counting red dots" method totally fails when the photos are all about the choreographed movements. How are you even supposed to get any sleep tonight when you still don't know how many people from the fleet were actually at the game against Indianapolis? 🤷

It seems the red dot method isn't working when I'm looking at photos of the choreography. How am I supposed to get any sleep without knowing exactly how many people were in the stands during that game against Indianapolis... 🤷

This was more or less what I had in mind... 🙂

I don't really care about the exact headcount, even if we could estimate it... It’s much more interesting to see six different photos rather than just shots of flags or choreography... 🤷

Honestly, I just love these choreographies of yours—and those messages in Old English script...🙏
I really think more people should be leaning into this stuff more often!!

Everyone is always whining about "the rival fleets"—the Mexicans, the Italians, whatever—yet they act more patriotic than any of us... though, perhaps the hardcore ultras actually have them beat on that particular front.🤷

Yeah, I mean, I guess you could say they’re about 2.4 degrees ahead of us in terms of our American identity, even though we both pretty much sit at around 93% Americans within the group

It'd be killer if they included one where you can actually see the numbers clearly, hands up, and those diagrams 👍

Seriously though, goldenbear17, what even is your job?😂

92.6🙂

But hey, maybe they're actually right?🤷

Out of seven photos, you've got six showing choreography and just one with the scoreboard. 🤷

They should have grabbed at least one shot where you can clearly see the numbers, hands up in the air, and the actual formations. 👍

👍

The choreography was actually pretty well thought out... but man, all that over-the-top emphasis on those specific movements felt forced, especially since half the crowd didn't even realize they were supposed to be stepping up on those two beats. And don't even get me started on the top row—those yellow "A" letters are facing the wrong way. They really should have thrown some blue ones in there too to balance it out.

And you still haven't actually specified whether we're talking about the dark blue or light blue "banners" being flown...🤣🤣

Caught this view at the game. Just a classic night for the navy.

For goodness' sake—you Americans really ought to study your own history books; you can't exactly blame anyone else for your lack of knowledge...🤷

Some people find this hilarious, while others find it pathetic..

🤣 and I promise you, things will be much better in Chicago next time 😍

The navy looks pretty solid. It’s got a good look to it, things are actually moving forward, and you can tell the guys are putting in the work. That whole setup with the glagolitic script is a nice touch too... all in all, not bad.👍

The navy is putting in the work, and honestly, that’s what matters most right now. If everything continues to go according to their vision, we’re looking at a major force in just a few years—with the real action finally hitting Cleveland. But then again, isn't it true that a string of bad luck can easily derail even the most dedicated effort? One might find themselves needing a little extra luck on their side to keep the momentum going.
