Reread what I wrote. I already stated that the US Army and USAF operate ships, I even linked to the same links you offered. I stated that this discussion, being about the USN and its size, doesn't include either the US Army or US Air Force, both of which operate ships, which would make the total...

There isn't a single surface combatant in the USN's Ready Reserve Fleet, just logistics ships. Suisun Bay reserve fleet. USS Paul F. Foster is combat capable, but wont be reactivated: Yeah, I meant to use Mighty Servant 1 as an example of the concept. It was a conversion and the test...

Screw them both and invest in Solar & Wind: In the US: Consider a solar project. The sun doesn't shine at night and, even during the day, varies in brightness with the weather and the seasons. So a project that can crank out 100 megawatt hours of electricity during the sunniest part of the...

LA? Not even an Improved LA!!! I guess no one wants to use their best assets. USS City of Corpus Christi: USS Theodore Roosevelt: USS Fort Worth seems to be everywhere these days: DD-118 Fuyuzuki

No, no and engaging discussion is never boring to me, but my interest lies more in the physicality aspects of transhumanism and less so in the economics, though they are equally important to ensure the spirit of transhumanism, the trickling down of the technologies, reaches all peoples...

Since @Technogaianist left the forum:(, I suppose I'll do her job: HV-16 innsatsstyrke Anklet bordet Hurtigruten Rickard With under øvelsen Nivlheim Home Guard unit 16 quick reaction force Anklet borded Hurtigruten Rickard With during exercise Nivlheim On overwatch: Heimevernet...

Yes, but no surface combatants like Battleships, cruisers or destroyers - all retired surface combatants have either been converted into self-defense test ships like USS Paul F. Foster. Which tests emerging technologies for the US Navy including laser weapons: And RIM-116 Block 2...

All of our surface combatants and most of our combat aircraft are multi-role, and yet this, the USN being too small, is still a discussion. They've been multi-role since Reagan proposed a 600 ship navy. The number required is never enough. There's always something more we need to do. Some region...

I know, I know, but all this talk of the USN being too small, when it's large enough to effect any nation anywhere, as you and I already know, is rather ridiculous. Our Army has more tonnage than most Navies... I forget to included the Army Corp of Engineers ships, which aren't included in the...

You know what's funny, this, being about the USN, doesn't even include ships belonging to the US Army or Air Force, both of which do maintain their own ships. Granted these are intelligence, support, basing and logistics craft and not surface combatants, but in accordance with Distributed...

Two more words: Pew, Pew. *this one's a demonstrator, and under-powered, but the lessons learned with it will be applied to a larger, fiber-based laser weapon approaching 100kw. Lockheed is developing this one: Lockheed Martin Starts Building 60-kW Fiber-Laser Weapon For U.S. Army |...

*Continued from above. Defensive weapons could include Griffin: Hellfire: Or a VLS for SM-2 or SM-6, but linked through the sensors of other assets: Such as E-2D, via Cooperative engagement Capability, which would allow a ship to leverage other assets to guide its weapons without...

Yes, but only in the Arctic from a numbers pespective. While present, the USN lags behind other regional nations in the Arctic, which is becoming a problem with warming waters and opening sea lanes: This isn't being addressed quickly enough. No one said it's small, but do its deployed...

I wasn't aware USS Mustin (DDG-89) was 1. An OPH Class Frigate. 2. Sailing for Pakistan. This sails for Pakistan, PNS Alamgir: *while still under US control This, the other photo you posted, doesn't:

If you're interested in Science and Tech, I do maintain a thread solely for said purpose. And I do agree, if's very hard to find such here. Here's the link to the thread: Micro stories - small news bits too small to have their own thread Wow, you'd be good friends with @Transhumanist /...

Air strikes around the world: Unwelcome visitors:

No admission, but ISIS is Turkey's working hypothesis according to Reuters quoting Turkish sources: Turkey is targeting Islamic State in investigations of a double suicide bombing in Ankara that killed up to 128 people, officials said on Sunday. State-run Anadolu Agency said police detained 43...

Who exactly? The protesters? I don't think they are lecturing anyone, just venting their moronic views. I don't even think they know what they are protesting other than for the sake of being "anti-Muslim". The rest of America? I honestly didn't even know there was a protest until I saw this...

Could it, the two statements, be a reference to Magnetorheological fluids? This would satisfy both the liquid and ceramic criteria of the armor, though it seems to a longshot due to the weight of such a fluid due to their high density (iron being the culprit) which fails the light-weight...
