After the FFGs got neutered, FC's were pretty bored, only the CAS radar, that lil 76mm gun and CIWS.
Too many acronyms.

Well, obviously if he knows the birds are gone from the FFG he knows most of the acronyms I used. Acronyms make the navy go round, I think we actually have guys assigned to do nothing but make new ones
