USN weapons upgrade
The USN is equipping its submarines with upgraded anti-ship missiles (ASM). This seems like a sound move, given the expanding Chinese navy and with the Russian navy becoming more active. If full scale naval war breaks out, I suspect that naval combat will be particularly brutal and bloody given the difficulty of defending against submarines and ASMs

JL-3
China tests a new SLBM. While they don’t have any subs presently that could launch it, those are coming too. I worry about China much more than Russia, and for that matter, Russia ought to as well.

Story is from back in July, but very interesting. The wreck of the U-966 found off Spain after it was sunk by RAF Sunderland, which was shot down in the process.

Some good news
Looks like the UK is stepping up their defense spending. This seems like good news for the west. Especially happy to see them investing in their navy.

New Chinese Boomers?
Are the Chinese going to build new SSBNs? Frankly, it would make sense for them to.
