The idea that the Soviet declaration of war against Japan caused a fear that the home islands would be attacked by the Soviets is wrong.

No, the military intended to attempt to have the Soviets intervene, and the Soviets joining the war broke that delusion.

[Air-Power | NatSec Ledger @NatSecLedger]

The Navy's approach on the FF(X) Frigate Flight I is to de-burden it from carrying a VLS entirely, leaning instead on containerized VLS and mission modules. Honestly, they fumbled this one. A fast attack boat with an Arleigh Burke class destroyer on speed dial would hit the fleet years sooner at a fraction of the cost.

P.s apologies on OHP thread it's more delayed now since I have exams

[VLO225 @VLO225]

Since frigate is in news again

[VLO225 @VLO225]

To elaborate there IS no highly readily producible ships that can replace the constellation in a ASW / FFG role . Both the Mogami and Korean FFG batch 3 class would require the same heavy overhaul that plagued the constellation , same Type 26 and others USN requirements for systems and other things will ultimately lead to a very different ship . A brand new class of ship would take nearly a decade or so to develop . This only leaves the LCS derivatives which nobody wants

[Virtual Bayonet @VirtualBayonet]

FF(X) frigate procurements are one in FY27, one in FY 29, and 2 in FY 31, with an eventual 22 total. Flight I will consist of "at least" the first 2 ships, Flight II Preliminary Design seems to start in FY27. Flight II will consider VLS and ASW capabilities. USN budget info.

@FabioAleRomero Hasn't something exactly like happend with triassic "kraken" like i heard there was some speculation they were competition to the giant ichthyosaur of the time
