NORFOLK, VA. — Morale onboard the USS Anzio (CG-68) skyrocketed today after the command's mandatory fun concert was canceled, sources report.

“We were all going to have to gather on the mess decks to watch a virtual concert,” Fire Controlman Third Class Jack Sanders said. “It was some Army band that we had to see because the XO knew someone in it. When we heard the morale boosting event was canceled, we were happy as hell.”
