Pakistani Navy operating a new sub for their SEAL units...
Ukrainian AN-178 looks good...

For all their struggles this could be the project that's finally a win for the Ukrainians.
Various types of Russian turrets and remotely controlled weapon stations for IFV/APC/ADS

World Health Organization coronavirus response timeline...
Yeah.
The World Health Organization did it "right"?!
Nope.
The WHO led the world down a rabbit hole and their current leader committed a crime against humanity because he's in the pocket of the Chinese.
The main problem? They downplayed Human to Human Transmission. That alone slowed the response. That is the problem. That is the sin.

While not an elegant solution it is much better than a publicity seeking Captain jeopardizing our readiness by crying to the media.
NAVAL BASE GUAM (April 11, 2020) U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Jacob Blanton, assigned to Combat Logistics Regiment 3 (CLR 3), directs movement of an AAV-P7/A1 amphibious assault vehicle during an operation to offload equipment for an Expeditionary Medical Facility (EMF) from Watson-class vehicle cargo ship USNS Dahl (T-AKR-312). The EMF will provide expanded medical capabilities in support of DoD’s COVID-19 response and will enable forces to be postured to support Guam and the region if a Defense Support of Civil Authorities mission is requested. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Nathan Carpenter/Released)Note. They're not being very subtle are they? It's obvious that Guam will be the "treatment" area for the Pacific fleet for sailors that come down with the Coronavirus. Expect no more announcements of sick crews or sailors/Marines aboard ship getting sick. At least from the Navy/Marines. If news gets out it will be via Red Cross messages being released from the families.

It's official.
Buckle up boys and girls. This is probably correct (feels right to me) which means that things are going to get sporty for more than a few of us. Get your shit together now.
You probably have a few months to set your ship on the right course (shame on you if you haven't done so already) and get ready for the rough seas ahead.
Closed till summer? College sports will change...

Bye bye Women's Basketball, Gymnastics, Volleyball. Bye bye Track & Field. But for the nerdy types...bye bye a great deal of funding for science, business (maybe not a loss) and humanities.
The knock on effects of this thing will not become apparent to MOST of you till the bill is paid going into the future.
Additionally the longer this goes on the longer it will take to reestablish supply chains. Food will be more expensive cause farmers can't get in the field...as a matter of fact outside of oil (because demand will continue to be low) we can expect all of it to rise.
Scarcity will be the new normal for many goods and a few services. It's time for the US to make a choice. Either do the hard thing now or deal with the harder thing later.
Another Chinese monster (Type 55 DDG) just left harbor and is headed for sea trials...

Drink it in boys and girls.
That's a 12,000 ton Destroyer headed out to sea for trials.
The Marine Corps ain't helping with this problem. We're establishing "Littoral" Battalions to help with the sea fight? This ain't gonna be a fight near the shore.
The Chinese are gonna try and take on the US Navy far out at sea. Get into a big ass brawl, and are seeking to drown them, skull fuck them, and sit back and drink their milk shake.
Once that's done then their fleet will do a reverse WW2 on us. Our fleet will be on the bottom and our Marines will be alone and isolated on islands.
This plan ain't gonna work.
So what do we do?
The NAVY needs to REFOCUS on the big sea battle. That's the problem! They need to reorient from being a land attack force and get back into the ship killing business 110%.
The issue isn't the USMC being a second land army. The issue is that the Navy was YANKED OFF MISSION by the Bush Admin to support the war on terror.
Change my mind.
