Well deserved.

An Ohio besides the Ike.

Pretty sure most of the images have been shared here on SH before. More interested in the idea of a theatre-range plane in development. We shall see.

http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/25989/intel-report-confirms-china-developing-stealthy-regional-bomber-in-addition-to-strategic-bomber "An arm of the U.S. Intelligence Community has publicly confirmed the existence of not one, but two Chinese stealth bomber development programs for the first time in a new report. In addition to the much-reported H-20 stealth heavy bomber program, China is also working on a smaller, regionally-focused stealthy bomber, commonly referred to as JH-XX. This new information was contained in the Defense Intelligence Agency's (DIA) latest China Military Power report, which the Agency released on Jan. 15, 2019. DIA restarted issuing its "Military Power" unclassified public reviews, which trace their origins to the Cold War-era Soviet Military Power reports, in 2017. This new examination of China's capabilities says the information it contains is up to date as of November 2018."

Interesting reads. Thanks for posting that.

A change in main battery. The years and technology advance.

Holy fuck. Leadership needs to be in jail. That's fucking criminal.

Yeah SH_MM posts neat shit. Below the Turret ring is a member blog.

Not likely to happen.

Mattis leaving. Saw another article about it elsewhere a few days ago.

I'm thinking of the situation with the Russian carrier when Spain wouldn't let them refuel and had to get a tanker to come and refuel it. It could be embarrassing for them if something like that happens. I've seen a breakdown of the ranges of the ships unrefuelled and it's not an easy go for what they have. The War Zone did an article breaking down why it is unlikely for them to actually deploy to Venezuela.

Will believe it when I actually see it. they don't really have the logistical ability to do this easily. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-iran-usa-navy-idUSKCN1OY0SX
