Something to think about

United States Marine Corps USMC Special Operations Force Recon Association repost; Just TWO things to think about today: 1. If it makes you happy, do it. 2. If it doesn’t, then don’t. Life can be so simple when you let it <3

US Navy's Largest Stealth Ship Revealed (sound ON for easy narration)... NWYT flew into US Navy's most unique ship (on a hovercraft) and spent 3 nights onboard. The USS New York is indeed a very special ship. But WHY does this ship sometimes put on a light show, how is bringing women on board as surface combatants making things much more comfortable for men, and why is the Navy downgrading the future iteration of this ship class?

If you really want to hear about some tactical edge use cases and not some box strapped to a plane Brandon Gulla and the RGS team will be able to talk “actuals” not “theory”…Lot’s of buzz words around tactical edge, but until you containerrize your app and deploy it in the constrained compute environment on a tactical platform it really is not tactical edge….just another hardened compute device… #microservices #k3s #containers #tacticaledge #cloudcomputing

An excellent report from GDEB.

Like almost all agencies, the US Navy does a good job of buying and replacing old technology. Where the DoN, and most others struggle is how to sustain that application or system over the long term. Jennifer Edgin, the assistant deputy chief of naval operations for information warfare, said her office is leading a perspective shift to ensure technology is onboarded quickly and is always modernized. #itmodernization #govcon https://bit.ly/3uSKXAN

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between Astute, Vanguard and Dreadnought submarines?   At 154 metres long, the Dreadnought Class we're building for the Royal Navy will be bigger than Astute. They're also larger than the Vanguard Class, which they'll replace from the early 2030s. Refer to this handy guide and find out more facts about Dreadnought with the link in the comments 👇 #submarines #engineering #design #technology

A historical perspective of the amazing capabilities of our military industrial complex; in the 1940s. How big was the U.S. Navy during WWII? By January 1945, the Navy had 61,045 vessels including 23 battleships, over 100 aircraft carriers, 59 cruisers, 425 destroyers, 400 destroyer-escorts, 237 subs and 54,000 landing craft and assault ships, plus 37,000 planes.

Cooperation between the allied democracies hasn't been more essential in 80 years. However, when I see these large-scale naval exercises, I think we are fighting the last war, not preparing for the one already upon us. Have we learned nothing from Ukraine? Nothing from our intelligence on China's military development? Grand fleet manoeuvers make excellent targets for Chinese ship-buster missiles and the new class of air, surface, and underwater sea drones. The US carrier group in the Red Sea can't defeat the Houthis. How will the Grand Fleet defeat the China/Russia/Iran axis? A carrier group's operating range is about 500 miles. A Chinese carrier-buster missile has a range of 750 miles. Only one has to hit. And they are much cheaper than a carrier, a naval fighter plane, or a defensive missile. The NATO nations are ramping up their defense spending, and justifiably so. However, a massive percentage of that spending will do nothing to make the free world safer. Indeed, it is a distraction from accelerating the development of the systems that will make the free world safer. Time to wake up.
