The official Facebook page for the USS KIDD (DDG-100) appears to have been hijacked by someone who really just wants to play "Age of Empires".

For the last several days, someone has been having a lot of fun playing the classic 1997 strategy game “Age of Empires.” Normally, that wouldn’t be news (the game is freaking fantastic) but in this case someone has been livestreaming their game sessions on the official Facebook account for the USS Kidd, and the U.S. Navy still hasn’t regained control of their account.
“The official Facebook page for USS Kidd (DDG 100) was hacked,” said Cmdr. Nicole Schwegman, a Navy spokesperson. “We are currently working with Facebook technical support to resolve the issue.”
As of Wednesday morning the videos still remain up on the official account for the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer.
The first livestream appeared on the USS Kidd’s Facebook account on Sunday at 10:26 p.m. with the gleeful caption: “Hahahaha.”
