Third carrier in anticipation GCC stop offensive flying ops from their manor.
X12 tankers up Israel / Jordan now.

Itβll take one kill.
Whoever CTG is for the first convoy (s) will need a lot of luck. IRGC will throw everything at this.
Blog raid building. Eight Texaco c/s in total up over mainly Jordan.
Ford doing a Suez transit. Couple of possibilities:-
CDG and additional assets around Cyprus are now considered sufficient to manage threat.
Itβs less about Ford and more about her escorts as part of a potential Hormuz op. IE team up Ford and Lincoln and free up some DDG.
Absolute dancer of a wine from Ukraine.
Sorry but she was not unarmed. Thats absolutely bollocks.
Got me. Itβs interesting she was allowed to pass. IRGC have eyes everywhere.
Thatβs interesting. Ran the Straits AIS on. So with IRGC blessing. Which would be adding insult to injury really.
We are on a clock.
Tanker shipping costs, cost of bunker fuel out the Far East, and lack of consumer goods (IE Food) moving through the Straits, are ones to watch.

Sorry not sorry.
Iβm glad Iβm out.
Iβm furious if they asked Iβd go back.
And it disgusts me this is what we have put up with.
Having been Chiefs and WOβs messman for four months, can confirm this was every Thursday meat raffle:-

Live space from the Shipwrekt crew.
Setting aside the rights and wrongs of this war? This will have been extremely grim for everyone onboard, and anyone finding it funny has a problem being an adult.
Itβs a grim business. Itβs better them than you. And itβs not a subject of amusement.
Looks like an initial fire aft. Then either subsequent hits fwd or the fire simply got away from them.
Different classes of ship.
Should have got herself interned somewhere tbh.
Not buying the USV tale except for one thing.
Not the first Russian merchant ship to sink in the Mediterranean.
Supposition:-Thereβs a merchant vessel with an SBU team in the Med, carrying USVβs, probably with a UAV recce capability, hunting Russians.
@jonboltonsmustache.bsky.social
Figure nine DDG plus CG cutters and a number of MCMVβs for this?
And they cannot take any carrier escorts away.
Soβ¦.three weeks to get Hormuz force together and in theatre?
