@The_Hipple @mercoglianos If you want ships now, start with smaller ones like the Badr class corvette which can be built in OSV yards.

SECNAV Phelan committed a grave strategic as well as political error yesterday in signaling his openness to outsourcing production of U.S. Navy warships abroad. Phelan’s statements directly undercut the bipartisan strategy championed by the Trump Administration to incentivize world class allied shipbuilders to invest in modernizing and expanding shipyards here in the United States. Phelan’s firing within hours of his blunder should be read as a stark and welcome signal that outsourcing U.S. Naval construction abroad is and must remain a non-starter.

Virginia's assault weapons ban takes effect July 1st. PSA is running two full production shifts to meet demand. In-stock orders ship to Virginia through June 23rd. When freedom is under pressure, we step it up.

Again: the ESB---the irreplaceable asset.
Build more. Expand the concept. Arm the auxiliaries.
Department of War 🇺🇸@DeptofWar
Overnight, U.S. forces conducted a right-of-visit, maritime interdiction and boarding of the stateless sanctioned M/T Tifani without incident in the INDOPACOM area of responsibility. As we have made clear, we will pursue global maritime enforcement efforts to disrupt illicit networks and interdict sanctioned vessels providing material support to Iran—anywhere they operate. International waters are not a refuge for sanctioned vessels. The Department of War will continue to deny illicit actors and their vessels freedom of maneuver in the maritime domain.

@thomasbsauer @myth_pilot Had a Navy dentist inspecting my teeth last week. He asked me about my command polo. I just told him I’m a SWO.
“Oh yeah? That’s great! I was a SWO for three years before I became a dentist.”
“Couldn’t cut it as a SWO, huh, Doc?”
Instant metal pick to the gums, but worth it.

@myth_pilot Before transferring to EOD, I was a Surface Warfare Officer.
We had a saying.
“SWO doesn’t suck. YOU SUCK.”

Pretty cool that they de-engined it from 3 miles away without even sinking it

First two shots feature our favorite low cost, high demand, low density (LCHDLD) asset, the vaunted ESB. #JeepCarrier @cdrsalamander @mercoglianos

@TrekMovie Best episode of the series. Tremendous acting by Mr. Brooks. The ending monologue is provoking.

You know, @johnkonrad & @mercoglianos … next time someone poo-poo’s me about the criminally extreme shortage of auxiliaries—specifically replenishment ships—in our Navy, instead of a long drawn-out bit of prose, I’m going to just hit them with this from Brown & Carlyle’s 2006 NPS paper. #MathIsHard

@Amtrak , @AmtrakNewEra , @AmtrakNECAlerts loving the NPN-WAS and return trip. Any chance of getting Starlink though? If @united can figure it out at 477kts, and @GoBrightline can at 68MPH, surely an established rail like Amtrak can figure it out.

@OldGnarlyGoat He did though. He was in the Navy at Annapolis before going to SUNY. He raised his hand and took the same oath we did.

That’s not true John.
She serves in the military. You never have.

Good news: my liberal haters say I have no business commenting on the military because I’ve never seen combat. Fair enough but apparently I’m still qualified to be a top general in Canada or Australia.
