CARRIER FOUND The USS Wasp (CV-7) sank on September 15 1942 after being attacked by the Japanese submarine I-19 which launched several deadly torpedoes triggering massive explosions and fire aboard the ship. Most of the crew were successfully evacuated while 193 sailors lost their lives. The Wasp was finally discovered in 2019 and found on the seabed at a depth of over 4,000 meters in the Coral Sea. Underwater footage shows her lying intact. The Wasp will not be raised or exploited; the site is being treated as a memorial honoring the sailors who died in action.

Don’t cry because it’s over smile because it happened

Last night, I took our six year old to the EOD Memorial Ball. Someone gave him a coin, and he was super excited showing everyone…and then he accidentally dropped it…next to a table of General Officers. They all pulled out coins and threw them down. And then, they told him to keep their coins. But it gets better. Super excited, he shows off all his coins to one of my friends. And then a voice behind us says: “That’s a cool coin collection you got there. You should have one of mine.” And it’s the Acting Secretary of the Navy, @SECNAV. Pretty sure this kid now has more coins than me.

Your reminder to get out and see this big country of ours. I spent my Sunday morning hiking the trails at the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument. The silence was great! It’s also a reminder for US military and veterans to get your America the Beautiful lifetime pass (free)

US Army is requesting $1+ Billion in FY 2027 to upgrade three Patriot Battalions to IBCS (AIAMD) enabled Battalions, while also procuring IBCS hardware to stand up two new IFPC Inc. 2 SHORAD Battalions. AIAMD is the centerpiece of the Army's "Any Sensor / Best Shooter" concept of operations, delivering it through three primary hardware upgrades: 🔸The IBCS Engagement Operations Center 🔸Integrated Fire Control Network Relays 🔸Adaptation Kits to link Sensors & Shooters to IFCN

Once you start going down the NRO patch rabbit hole you won't be able to see any patches - USN, USAF, USSF, IC - the same way again.
