These U.S. Navy Weapons Are Real, And No One Thought They Were Possible

While the status of the Navy's nuclear armaments is a closely guarded secret, there's plenty of information available about the incredible weapons which we know for sure that the US is packing. Some of them sound like they're from science fiction movies - they have to be seen to be believed.

Picking a fight with the United States military isn't a good idea. The US war machine is one of the most powerful - if not the outright strongest - in the entire world. The Navy contains over three hundred thousand active members, with a further one hundred thousand on reserve if required.

There's more to the Navy than just the men and women who serve in it, though. With a budget of several billion dollars, the US Navy has access to some of the most technologically-advanced and devastating weapons imaginable. The four thousand ships and aircraft of the Navy are heavily armed.

Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.

Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.

Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
