You're joking right? It's a nightmare and far from perfect. Reading text is an exercise in self-loathing.

In which I can see:

* Text over a lined background. How is that helpful? It's a constant Moiré pattern while you're reading

* Awful leading/line heights.

* Unoptimal character count per line. Best practices is 50-70 depending on font size.

* Tiny type! I have 20/20 vision and there is 11px type I'm trying to read on a 15" laptop.

* Spurious text areas on the right. There's poor organization of text.

* The welcome text is small and lost above the image.

I could go on about the design, but that always subjective.

Everything is forgiven because it loads fast and doesn't have tons of Javascript, Flash and whatnot.

It's readable enough, not bloated, and there's an understandable logic in how you navigate.

Hmm, the US Navy knows how to navigate! That makes sense.
