@EnthuserH 80+? You mean 100% of our shops since 2015? The navy decommissioned the last diesel ship in 2015 all our naval ships have been run on nuclear engines since then and the fist was an experimental submarine.

@shanaka86 Why use the subs when we have air superiority? They certainly could but I don’t see it as some crazy tactical advantage too

The 48-hour ultimatum is running and the US Navy will not say where its submarines are. The surface fleet is visible: three littoral combat ships inside the Persian Gulf. Six destroyers in the Arabian Sea. The Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group. You can track all of them on satellite. The submarines you cannot track because the Navy treats their presence in theatre as more classified than the weapons they carry. What is known is what they have already done. The Iranian Navy is combat ineffective. Hegseth’s word. Decimated. Destroyed. Defeated. Twenty-plus warships struck or sunk. Eleven of the warships stationed east of the Strait of Hormuz before the war were denied or destroyed within the first 48 hours. No Iranian naval vessel remains in the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, or the Gulf of Oman. The navy that was supposed to hold Hormuz closed was eliminated by a force that includes submarines whose names the Pentagon will not confirm until the war is over. The submarine that killed the IRIS Dena has been identified as USS Charlotte, a Los Angeles-class boat. It fired two MK 48 torpedoes south of Sri Lanka on March 4. One hit. The frigate sank in three minutes. Eighty-seven dead. Sixty-one missing. Three Australian Defence Force personnel were aboard under AUKUS training rotation. They watched. That was March 4. Eighteen days ago. The question tonight is not what the submarines did. It is what they are doing right now while a social media post counts down to the destruction of Iran’s power grid. Virginia-class fast-attack submarines are the primary American platforms in the Arabian Sea. They carry Tomahawk Block IV cruise missiles for land attack and MK 48 torpedoes for naval targets. They operate at depths and speeds the Navy does not disclose. Their S9G reactors do not require refuelling for the life of the boat. They can remain submerged indefinitely, surfacing only when they choose to. A Virginia-class submarine positioned within Tomahawk range of Iranian territory can strike power plants, missile sites, command centres, or any coordinates the President designates, from underwater, without warning, at any hour of any day until its missile magazine is empty. The 48-hour ultimatum threatens to obliterate Iran’s power plants starting with the biggest one first. The aircraft that would deliver those strikes are visible: B-2 bombers, F-15E Strike Eagles, carrier-based Super Hornets. The submarines that could deliver those same strikes are not visible. Tomahawk missiles launched from a submerged Virginia-class boat arrive at the same target at the same speed as Tomahawks launched from a destroyer. The difference is that the destroyer can be seen and the submarine cannot. Iran’s air defences have been degraded by 90 percent. Its navy is on the ocean floor. Its supreme leader has not been seen in 13 days. Its intelligence minister was assassinated this week. And somewhere in the Arabian Sea, an unknown number of American submarines are waiting for an order that may come in 48 hours, or 24, or tonight, from a president who issues military ultimatums on social media and does not telegraph which ones he means. The surface fleet has names. The submarines do not. The countdown has 48 hours. The enforcers are already in position. And the enforcer you cannot see is the one you cannot stop.

Three Australian sailors were lying in their bunks when a torpedo killed 87 Iranians on the other side of the hull. USS Charlotte, a Los Angeles-class attack submarine, fired two Mark 48 torpedoes at Iranian frigate IRIS Dena on 4 March in international waters forty nautical miles south of Galle, Sri Lanka. One torpedo hit. The ship sank. Eighty-seven Iranian sailors died. Thirty-two were rescued by the Sri Lankan Navy. Sixty-one remain missing. Three Royal Australian Navy personnel were aboard Charlotte. They were embedded under the AUKUS Pillar 1 submarine training pathway, part of a rotation of over 130 Australian sailors learning to operate nuclear-powered submarines that Australia will own by the 2030s. When the order came to fire, the three Australians were ordered to their sleeping quarters. They stayed there for the duration of the attack. Prime Minister Albanese confirmed this on 6 March after a National Security Committee meeting: “Three Royal Australian Navy personnel were aboard. They were ordered to their sleeping quarters. No Australian personnel have participated in any offensive action against Iran.” This is not a story about cowardice or conspiracy. It is a story about the legal architecture of twenty-first-century warfare. Australia is not a belligerent in the US-Iran war. Australian law prohibits offensive military action without parliamentary authorisation. AUKUS protocols, formalised in the 2023 Optimal Pathway trilateral agreement, define all personnel exchanges as non-combat training. The three sailors were aboard to learn. Not to fight. When the submarine they were learning on became a weapon, the command physically separated them from the act of war by putting them in bed. The sleeping quarters order is the legal firewall between training and combat, between alliance and belligerency, between being on the submarine and being part of what the submarine does. It is a fifteen-metre walk from a bunk to a torpedo tube. That fifteen metres is the distance between peace and war for an entire nation. The absurdity is the point. Modern alliance warfare requires partners to be close enough to learn but far enough to deny. Present on the platform but absent from the event. Embedded in the crew but excluded from the mission. The AUKUS framework that will deliver Australia nuclear-powered submarines by the 2030s was stress-tested not in a tabletop exercise but in a live torpedo attack on an Iranian warship with Australian sailors asleep one compartment away. The Iranians who died did not know three Australians were aboard. The Australians who were aboard did not participate in their deaths. The submarine that killed 87 people carried three passengers whose government’s official position is that they were sleeping. The legal record will show that Australia was not involved. The physical record will show that Australia was fifteen metres away. This is how alliances work now. You train on the weapon. You sleep through its use. You wake up in a world where your partner sank a warship and your government says you were not there. Three sailors. One torpedo. Eighty-seven dead. And a legal fiction measured in the distance between a bunk and a firing console. Full analysis below. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

SCOOP: @TulsiGabbard’s political staff expect that she is about to RESIGN, following the resignation of her colleague @joekent16jan19. This comes after two days of her testimony in front of Congress this week where she never once expressed support for President Trump or his decisions. Instead, she used her time during the hearings to affirm President Trump’s right to make decisions as President of the United States, making it clear she doesn’t support those decisions. Despite what she is telling the White House, one of her closest advisors anticipates her resignation is coming soon. President Trump should not allow Gabbard the dignity of a resignation, followed by her immediately trashing him on MSDNC, CNN, the View, and Tucker Carlson’s podcast. @SusieWiles @DanScavino @MarcoRubio

@B_Barbarian @eigenrobot The issue with nuclear is that it is extremely heavy, and it takes up a ton of space. It’s a steam plant and the reactor and all the associated equipment for that. Most ships don’t have that space. Also we don’t have enough operators as it is.

Despite reports that the families of the servicemembers requested no videos or photos of the transfer, the White House has published a number of photos taken of U.S. President Donald J. Trump and other officials today at Dover Air Force Base, for the dignified transfer of the six airmen and officers who were killed in last week’s crash of a U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker in Western Iraq.

Karoline Leavitt@PressSec·
There are many false claims in this letter but let me address one specifically: that "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation."   This is the same false claim that Democrats and some in the liberal media have been repeating over and over.   As President Trump has clearly and explicitly stated, he had strong and compelling evidence that Iran was going to attack the United States first.   This evidence was compiled from many sources and factors. President Trump would never make the decision to deploy military assets against a foreign adversary in a vacuum.   Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. The Iranian regime is evil. It proudly killed Americans, waged war against our country, and openly threatened us all the way up to the launch of Operation Epic Fury.   Iran was aggressively expanding their short-range ballistic missiles to combine with their naval assets to give themselves immunity – meaning they would have a degree of a capabilities that would give them immunity to hold us and the rest of the world hostage.   The regime aimed to use those ballistic missiles as a shield to continue achieving their ultimate goal – nuclear weapons.   The President, through his top negotiators, gave the regime every single possible opportunity to abandon this unacceptable course by permanently giving up their nuclear ambitions in exchange for sanctions relief, free nuclear fuel, and potential economic partnerships with our country.   But they would not say yes to peace because obtaining nuclear weapons was their fundamental goal.   President Trump ultimately made the determination that a joint attack with Israel would greatly reduce the risk to American lives that would come from a first strike by the terrorist Iranian regime and address this imminent threat to America’s national security interests.   All of this led to President Trump arriving at the determination that this military operation was necessary for U.S. national security, which is why he launched the massively successful Operation Epic Fury. The Commander-in-Chief determines what does and does not constitute a threat, because he is the one constitutionally empowered to do so - and because the American people went to the ballot box and entrusted him and him alone to make such final judgments. And finally, the absurd allegation that President Trump made this decision based on the influence of others, even foreign countries, is both insulting and laughable. President Trump has been remarkably consistent and has said for DECADES that Iran can NEVER possess a nuclear weapon. As someone who actually witnesses President Trump’s decision-making process on a daily basis, I can attest to the fact that he is always looking to do what’s in the best interest of the United States of America — period. America First.
Joe Kent@joekent16jan19

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

Sailors onboard the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), which is entering its tenth month of deployment, battled flames onboard the aircraft carrier last week for over 30 hours, after a small fire that started in the ship’s main laundry area, spread through ventilation to several other areas of the ship, including multiple berthings, with more than 600 sailors and other crewmembers having lost their beds in the fire and since been bunking down on floors and tables throughout the ship, officials tell The New York Times.

From a Secret Service agent guarding President Trump… “Trump has RUINED me - I can never protect another President after him” - not because he’s difficult - but because he’s the OPPOSITE. Trump knows my NAME. Every other President called me ‘agent.’ Trump calls me by my actual name. Trump knows my WIFE’S name. My CHILDREN’S names. Asks about my son’s baseball games by name. Trump NOTICES when I’m tired after standing 8 hours and says ‘Sit down, you need rest.’ Trump orders EXTRA food during long days: ‘Make sure my guys eat first.’ Trump attended my FATHER’S FUNERAL when he passed. No cameras. No press. Just came to honor the man who raised the agent protecting him. After experiencing THIS - how can I go back to being called ‘agent’ by future Presidents? After Trump remembered my KIDS’ names, how can I protect someone who won’t even learn MY name? After Trump treated me like FAMILY, how can I go back to being treated like FURNITURE? Trump RUINED me. He raised the bar so high for how Presidents should treat Secret Service that I can NEVER accept the old standard again. That’s what I mean by ruined.” #fyp #signal99 #share #MyPresident #ivotedforthis

JUST IN: The most powerful navy in human history just admitted it cannot safely escort a single oil tanker through a 33-kilometre strait. Reuters reported on 10 March that the US Navy has refused near-daily requests from the oil and shipping industries for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since Operation Epic Fury began on 28 February, citing the risk of Iranian attack as too high. Not once. Not occasionally. Near-daily. Every day for eleven days, the shipping industry has asked the US Navy for help, and every day the answer has been no. Consider what is deployed in the region. The USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group operates in the Arabian Sea. The USS Gerald R. Ford is in the Red Sea. The USS George H.W. Bush is en route or preparing for deployment. Three nuclear-powered supercarriers, each displacing 100,000 tons, carrying 75 aircraft, escorted by Aegis cruisers and guided-missile destroyers with the most advanced radar and missile defence systems ever built. France deployed the Charles de Gaulle carrier group to the Eastern Mediterranean and Red Sea. Britain sent HMS Dragon, a Type 45 air-defence destroyer, to defend RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus. Combined allied naval firepower in theatre exceeds the total military capacity of most nations on Earth. None of it can get a tanker through Hormuz. The strait is 33 kilometres wide at its narrowest point. Navigable shipping lanes compress to approximately 3 kilometres in each direction. Through this corridor, 138 tankers per day transited before the war. The corridor is now defended by 31 autonomous IRGC provincial commands with independent firing authority, pre-delegated orders from a dead Supreme Leader, coastal anti-ship cruise missiles, kamikaze drones, fast-attack boats, and a mine stockpile of 2,000 to 6,000 weapons, of which a few dozen are confirmed in the water with 80 to 90% of delivery platforms intact. The US Navy’s refusal is not cowardice. It is arithmetic. A carrier strike group is designed for blue-water power projection, not littoral escort through a corridor where a $500 contact mine can cripple a $4 billion destroyer. An Aegis cruiser’s radar can track hundreds of targets at 400 kilometres but cannot detect a mine sitting three metres below the surface. An F-35 can deliver precision strikes at Mach 1.6 but cannot sweep a shipping lane. The assets are wrong for the mission. The world’s most expensive hammer has been asked to thread a needle. Trump told CBS escorts would begin “as soon as possible” and “when reasonable.” His Energy Secretary posted that an escorted transit had already occurred, then deleted it when the White House confirmed none had. Iran’s Parliament Speaker mocked the claim as PlayStation. The IEA proposed the largest reserve release in history because the strait the Navy cannot escort through remains functionally closed. Ghalibaf was not wrong. The escorts do not exist. Not because America lacks the will. Because the Mosaic Doctrine created a threat environment where the cost of escort failure exceeds the cost of escort refusal. One mine striking one escorted tanker would produce a casualty event, an insurance catastrophe, and a strategic humiliation that three carrier strike groups cannot absorb. The Navy is not refusing to help. It is refusing to lose. Seven hundred tankers wait. Three carriers watch. And the 33-kilometre corridor between them remains the most expensive gap in the world.

The USS Gerald R. Ford is not parked near Iran. It is parked off Israel. And nobody is asking the only question that matters: why. The $13.3 billion crown jewel of the US Navy, the largest warship ever constructed, just positioned itself off Haifa. Not in the Arabian Sea where the Lincoln sits 850 kilometers from Iranian shores loaded for offensive operations. Not in the Gulf where strike range is optimal. Off Israel. Defending Israel. This is not redundancy. This is architecture. Two carriers. Two missions. Two entirely different strategic functions. The Lincoln is the sword, positioned to launch strike packages into Iranian airspace within hours of an order. The Ford is the shield, its Aegis missile defense systems creating an umbrella over Israeli population centers against the retaliation that follows the first Tomahawk. America just split its carrier doctrine into offense and defense simultaneously. That has not happened since the Pacific theater in 1945. But the positioning reveals something deeper than tactics. When Iran retaliates, and every wargame says Iran retaliates, its missiles and drones fly toward Israel. They will fly through the same airspace where a US carrier strike group is now stationed. Every Iranian missile aimed at Tel Aviv or Haifa must traverse the Ford’s defensive envelope. Shooting at Israel means shooting at, around, and through an American carrier group. Iran cannot retaliate against Israel without engaging American naval assets. The Ford’s position makes that physically impossible. The carrier is not defending Israel as a favor. It is positioned so that any Iranian response to American strikes automatically becomes an attack on American forces, triggering the full unrestrained weight of US military response without a single additional political decision required. This is escalation insurance written in steel and seawater. If the campaign goes longer than planned, if munitions run thin in 7 to 10 days, if allies hesitate, the Ford’s position ensures that Iranian retaliation does the political work Washington cannot do alone: it transforms a limited American strike into an act of self-defense that no ally can refuse to support. You do not park a $13.3 billion carrier where the enemy’s return fire will hit it unless you want the enemy’s return fire to hit it. The Ford is not there to prevent escalation. The Ford is there to guarantee that if escalation comes, it comes on terms that make American restraint politically impossible and allied participation politically unavoidable.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

The interesting/sad thing about watching the Runescape players melt down over needing to pay $15 a month for the game is not that they're upset over a price hike, that is relatively normal... But just how faith the comparisons to other MMOs become just to service that outrage. Runescape is the only popular MMO on earth that isn't suffocated by a vicious cash shop, and yet people act as though sustaining that doesn't obviously come with its own issues (such as monthly prices increasing).
