You’d have to have….

a heart of stone not to laugh at this one.  Add this to the recent explosion at the Iranian drone factory and the explosion at the Iranian oil refinery, and maybe you begin to wonder if a certain country isn’t getting some payback.

More of this, please.

These types of tests need to be conducted a lot more often, especially by the seaborne forces of the USN and our allies.  If you would have peace, prepare for war.

We are not alone

The USN isn’t the only navy with problems.

Well, it looks like the Pacific Fleet's Marshal Shaposhnikov Project 1155 reclassified frigate did have a malfunction during its tests with a failed Kalibr cruise missile launch.https://t.co/xZbLEY09Af pic.twitter.com/1lQZn2bPSk

Warships with problems

I’ve followed Jim Dunnigan’s career since he was a wargame designer in the 70s.  He now runs a website called Strategypage and below is a YouTube of his podcast.  This one is on problems with current ship designs, focusing in part on the LCS (Little Crappy Ships.)

I am still amazed at what happened to several Soviet ships when the USSR collapsed.

Hmmmm

Someone smacked the Iranians.  Was it the Israelis, the Saudis or both?

Save The Sullivans

The USS The Sullivans needs help.  Dig into your pocket a bit if you can.

German Commerce Raiders

I have always been fascinated by this subject.  This is a great video. (P.S. Check out this persons other videos.)

Paper tiger

You have to have a heart of stone not to laugh at this story. Modern Russia is the very definition of a Kleptocracy. 

Why have I never heard this story before?
