US Congressmen have form in muddling their ships - in 2019, Brian Mast, a US military veteran and the Republican Representative for Florida's 21st congressional district, also congratulated the US Navy on the anniversary of its founding by posting a tweet accompanied by a picture of Russian ship 'Pyotr Velikiy'.
Congressman Cory Mills posted on social network X (formerly Twitter) to congratulate the US Navy on reaching its 248th anniversary ... and illustrated his tweet with an image of a Russian ship.
"Happy 248th Birthday to the US Navy! From the early days of the American Revolution to today, the Navy stands strong, defending our freedom and protecting our seas," Mills wrote, attaching a photo of the Russian battlecruiser Pyotr Velikiy to the post.
Many users in the comments section of the post condemned the Republican Representative for Florida's 7th congressional district for such an oversight, prompting Mills to remove the photo from the post, leaving only the congratulatory text.
