Fair Winds and Following Seas! Harvey C. Barnum Jr. (DDG 124) sailed away from BIW Wednesday, March 4, beginning its journey to Norfolk, Virginia, where it will be commissioned into the U.S. Navy fleet next month. The ship’s 9,500 tons of steel and technology slid quietly out

U.S. forces aren't holding back on the mission to sink the entire Iranian Navy. Today, an Iranian drone carrier, roughly the size of a WWII aircraft carrier, was struck and is now on fire.

I want this guy’s DDG-51 shirt.

🇨🇳 has over 5,000 flagged ships engaged in international trade, compared to only around 100 🇺🇸, which gives them a massive advantage in civilian intelligence gathering on the seas.

Some perspective. The American submarine that sank the Iranian warship was launched the same year that the first text message was sent... and still a lethal apex predator. We have 38 newer ones and adding two more this year

Interesting thread. While I don’t fully agree on the cause for the decline of U.S. shipbuilding, or the solution (full repeal of Jones Act), I do believe the JA build requirement needs revised. I would be very happy if the US had roughly 2-5% share of international shipbuilding.

Everyone...there is no need to panic about mines. The US Navy has kept four mine countermeasure vessels in the Persian Gulf for the past 35 years. These ships and crews have trained for this very circumstance. WAIT...what is that? The minesweepers just arrived in

Speaking from experience these ships were almost never available and locked to the pier due to maintenance issues. They needed to be decommissioned. However, the Navy not having an adequate replacement isn’t acceptable and will only be corrected when something bad happens.

Another major drug bust through Operation Pacific Viper. The crew of #USCG Cutter Tampa interdicted a go-fast vessel deep in the Eastern Pacific, seizing 1,925 kilograms of cocaine worth an estimated $31.9M. Since launching Operation Pacific Viper in early August, we’ve
