Pro-military. Social Conservative. Pro-Gov Workers! Anti-Elon! Pro-NATO! Positive International Relations.

I want to connect with people. People talking and sharing ideas makes us all stronger.
I am in a different branch. The political oversight is the worst I have seen in my time and like many of us we have served under admins of both colors.

It’s very chilling for many of us.

But if you are willing to crawl this time will be great for your career.

😂😂😂😂😂 I always prefer a suit over a dress uniform…

And yet you are wearing a suit and tie.

I am fairly brave, but I think I would rather be dropped behind enemy lines with a bottle of water and a Swiss Army knife than argue with my wife on my attire for a dress up evening.

Can someone throw out his rule book please? The rules we are now operating under are so different than what he thinks will happen…

Eternal optimism from him is not something I want right now…

Fantastic POV in that piece.

So many responses to his actions and why X won’t happen in the future are based IMO on the old post WWII construct where countries will act a certain way. Those rules don’t seem to apply anymore. So many things appear to be irrevocably broken in international diplomacy.

Happy Soviet Collapse day!

There was one near where I grew up. Built in the 60’s, but still standing with a family living in it. One of the neighbors told them the origin story of the house to the newest owners.

The current problem is the tech is very advanced and the sailors don’t have the know how to troubleshoot issues. The software is a nightmare. And parts are hard to get and the navy has only recently gone back to bench repairs.

The LCS program was failure in the aspect of reduced crew sizes.

Lasers have been used on ships for a few years. The question is can they deploy them with out contractors as full time staff.

The one detail I want to know is manning req’s.

I would imagine it will 500+. Lots of training needed.

With the lasers lots of new training will be needed for tactics and repairs.

The design has two 5” turrets and the railgun, plus 4 laser systems. And a VLS for hypersonics

Further R&D to continue the project to correct issues like all new weapons tech have to work through.

To continue it was pointless since there was no platform planned that could fit it.

Again…we won’t see this platform. Double 5”?

The rail gun was a successful. But was packed away because we didn’t have a platform to mount it on. The CG(X) was canceled.

I see the ballroom as being as successful as this platform. Neither will be floated before 2030zzz

RAH-66 anyone?

lol! Hot takes on LOTR brings the Eye of Sauron upon you.

I made the mistake of telling some hardcore LOTR friends of mine I really enjoyed the hobbit trilogy…

I will believe that this ship class exists when they float the hull for the first time.

Trump complained about the new tech on the Gerald Ford CVN’s. This class is 3x bigger than our DDG’s and has lasers and railguns. Just building and testing the Combat system will be a nightmare.

Mostly to scare the Russians. The Kirov battle cruisers at the end of the Cold War made us nervous.
December 23, 2025 at 5:11 PM
Is it Irony that this is Man who bitched about new tech on the Gerald Ford CVN’s is the same man that announced a ship class that will be stacked with lasers and rail guns and new radars…

Lots of guys were asking it about war crimes…
