@USN_Submariner AUTEC was fun but coco beach was really fun. Somewhere i can vaguely remember a swim up kontiki bar back in the 90s it various crests from the UK boats

[pebblebed @pebblebed]

@TheUCS473 We need a GE but that won't happen yet. Hopefully @AlistairCarns will stand in the leadership election at he has been shot at.

[pebblebed @pebblebed]

@piersmorgan Please @Kier_Stammer if you have any decently left call a GE

[pebblebed @pebblebed]

@GuidoFawkes @realDonaldTrump any chance of green cards for SQEP brits. This new muppet is worse than starmer

[pebblebed @pebblebed]

@John_ForemanCBE We need mix of capabilities in depth, both defence and offense. But in common is need for the agility to itterive rapidly to respond to changing threat landscape. No longer multiyear procurement processes. Programmes need to minimise "illities" & deep blue system engineering

[pebblebed @pebblebed]

@USN_Submariner I went in the engineering one at NUWC great fun. Oh for the UK to have those budgets

@fennelUW You do not know how far from the truth you are. Stopping commenting would suggest I might be closer to the real story than you care to admit

[pebblebed @pebblebed]

@FennellJW I wonder if the crew were Ukrainians rent boys or labour together supporters to try and talk up the current caretaker of number 10 tough on defence charade.

@USN_Submariner Sadly we are doing over 200 days every patrol. Due to the politicians avoiding making decisions in a timely manner.

@NavyLookout Feel sorry for the lads at Poole that had to cancel their Saturday night out on the the razz to deliver a political sound bite

[pebblebed @pebblebed]

@NavyLookout I surprised two tier Kier didn't fly for a photex opportunity on the deck. Nothing like a PM and group men in black to help the domestic image. Re Maggie and the Iranian embassy siege 😀

[pebblebed @pebblebed]

@MtarfaL The cost living crisis solved confiscate every tanker transporting oil from Russia and take the oil. I expect Putin will then have send them through the GIUK gap. Donald can stop the ones on the Greenland side

[pebblebed @pebblebed]

@TomSharpe134 If one was cynical this is just 2 tier Keir just trying to deflect the narrative from the fact the defence minster has resign and basically said the PM is not up to the job of funding the defence of the nation 😀. And boys from Hamworthy had to cancel their plans for the night

[pebblebed @pebblebed]

@MtarfaL AUKUS is far more than a national endeavour. IF and its big IF. If its a true cooperative arms agreement rather than a FMS. It enables the 3 nations to act as a force multiplier with development adopting a follow the sun model. Which is adm Gaucher plan. But UK needs to step up

[pebblebed @pebblebed]

@benonwine I did see him and some of the band at basil's bar back in the day on mystique. We were sailing and moored there overnight. Very lucky

[pebblebed @pebblebed]

@TBrit90 Sadly that is the logical conclusion. If the political class does grip this. History would suggest quiet mannered masses of the English shires will get more than a bit vexed and that does not bolde well for the UK . If current residents of SW1A don't fix it we need a GE ASAP

[pebblebed @pebblebed]

@MtarfaL The problem is also compounded by MoD restructuring into a procurement executive and a enterprise that is PM led. This drives a very risk adverse approach. Whereas the DoW is led by war fighters and engineers. So many times the UK enterprise makes appalling decisions.

@USN_Submariner

[pebblebed @pebblebed]

@TBrit90 Why can't they just procure 2 of these of the peg, build to print. https://t.co/ZxPj3oJNBK
Eg MoD no special requirements.
And before anybody asks no havnt served, not officially but have spent more time below PD than a lot of bsq personal & have a pair of mammals to show for it

Scaleable, mobile and affordable submarine support infrastructure...

🇺🇸ATLAS is a new self-ballasting Floating Dry Dock built in the US by @BollingerShip for @electricboat and will be used to support USN Columbia-class SSBN construction and maintenance.

[pebblebed @pebblebed]

@USN_Submariner I was a rider on a boat at AUTEC when there was a pipe that the link was going down to the lowest baud rate. The whole boat wondered what was going on. Then it was announced Princess Diana had died. Ironically a bit of a relief. Makes you think
