Elmer Royce Williams' MiG fight is nuts.

We are almost positive this mission originated on a US Navy ESB operating in PACOM based on the videos.
To all who celebrate, happy Twin Peaks day.
Our story from Friday is pulling up old wounds for the Nimitz COVID deployment that kept sailors from their familes for almost a year due to quarantine restrictions. All told, the CSG was out for 263 days for national tasking. That doesn't crack our top 10, to the irriation of many NIM families.

The eastern med isn’t bad, you have pretty good access to Souda Bay.
The Arabian Sea and the Red Sea not so much.
If this deployment goes past May 5, it’s going to be the longest since the 1970s. All of those 300+ day deployments were in support of the Vietnam war with easy access to liberty ports.
Spotted in my FB feed. Who is telling family members that posting about ship positions will extend a deployment?
There's a difference between reminding people to be responsible and scaring them unnecessarily. Is this guidance ombudsmen are passing to families?
Also, Lincoln is now in CENTCOM.
USS Theodore Roosevelt is not deployed. They're underway doing workups. Deployed strike groups are Ford and Lincoln and technically George Washington (which is always deployed but currently getting wrenched on in Japan and not ready to go).
They sure did!
I keep seeing this T-shirt slop on Navy affinity pages.
What a photo.
The hangar light orange — *chef's kiss*
Of course a dork from Indiana punches the clock on the season.
New battleship card.
The Navy is "not walking away from ASW" but few deatils on how this is gonna work.
There's a Connex boxmarked ASW on the slide.

-EW: SLQ-32(v)6
- 57mm main gun
-Flexible Weapons Station:
Naval Strike Missile, C-UAS (e.g., Hellfire), or Containerized Payloads.
-Aviation, UAV, manned helo
-30mm guns

Here’s the first card we’ve seen on the Navy’s new frigate.
Masks off, my cat and I are insufferable Bears fans IRL.
Asking for me, when's the last time anyone has seen USS Lewis Puller?
Here’s our best crack at the first story. A lot of questions remain on how the operation worked in terms of suppression of enemy air defense and what role the Marines and the aircraft carrier in the region played.

From the man “Kitty is on the naughty list.”
Navy annouces new frigate design based on the Legend-class security cutter.
Promises to launch by 2028.

Made a non-AI illustration for the next USNI News Sea Scroll. My Photoshop skills are rusty.
Ah yes, the same editorial board that called the Virginia-class submarine - purpose built for the post Soviet era - a Cold War relic in 2008.
