Ceasefire with benefits

[Jennifer Griffin @JenGriffinFNC]

I am told the US strikes are over for now. Again these were defensive in nature not offensive and not an effort to break the ceasefire. The US military says it reacted when they saw 2 IRGC boats laying mines and then also when a SAM missile site targeted its warplanes.

The Pentagon is considering outsourcing warship design and building to Korea and Japan with a proposed $1.85 billion feasibility study into the project within the proposed budget for 2027, with the study to look at the feasibility of adopting or co-producing advanced hulls such as Japan’s Mogami-class and Korea’s Daegu-class frigates to supplement the U.S. Navy, according to USNI News.

Build Ships.

Build them in America. Build them in Korea. Build them in Japan.

But for Pete’s sake build them, and keep on building them, until you run out of sailors to man them and docks to berth them.

@McCainJack I brought up Andor during my Reserve Senior Leadership Course this month in a discussion about following ethical and moral orders. And got mostly blank stares

@JerryHendrixII @tshugart3 As the XO of an MSC Reserve unit always good to see the support for sealift and combat logistics force. Had a chance to tour GD/NASSCO a few weeks back as they’re pumping out the T-AOs. Will be curious if any of the funding ultimately shifts to foreign yards for auxiliaries.

@HopeSeck Is this a rhetorical question? Or are you looking for the more interesting history of the area, including the Carroll and Blair families and the confederate invasion?
