@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social while the UK IS dependent on the USA to service trident it is not dependent on the USA to fire them, stop perpetuating that myth.
Talk to someone who knows like @tomsharpe.bsky.social before talking about this stuff.

Redundancy, redundancy, redundancy!

The enterprise had 4! But smaller

@hilli.tech Nimitz class have 2 reactors

@hilli.tech @wgallagher.bsky.social Apple maps is generally good for big places, it's good for navigation even in Italy, but it's very poorly served in the Albania for example. things are just missing or out of date in lots of cases.

how long would a warmed over trafalgar and astute boat 7 last you?

@hilli.tech Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes but Freddo is shot in Lake Tahoe

@hilli.tech I actually am using apple intelligence on the Mac to do useful stuff, helps with pulling useful points of out legislation in writing tools. so far that works well but need to have human intervention to do any drafting properly, but it does save a lot of time.

Find the bbc tv series or the radio series that @wgallagher.bsky.social was talking about.

@wgallagher.bsky.social @hilli.tech you meant Deep Thought the super computer That designed the earth to understand the question to which the answer is 42…

OTD in 2022 Russian MOD announced that all Russian troops near Ukraine were returning home. And seeing as we weren't lying, you can believe us in negotiations now.

We did the exact same thing right before invading Georgia.

OTD in 1921 Soviet invasion of Georgia began. Less than a year before we signed a treaty with them promising we'd never invade.

Lying & then invading is a tradition I maintain to this day.

@hilli.tech love the map discussion, our first week of cartography course started with "all maps lie, they all have to distort in order to present some aspect accurately. You can preserve area, angle or shape, but not all three"

The perennial “QEC” CIWS question. Tell me I’m wrong but I feel the resolution is available the phalanx points can be fitter with SeaRAM and pop some Bofors 40mm on the other sponsons. Cheap & cheerful

Epic win!

@thinkdefence.bsky.social so the RAF has binned the herc, with the intent to backfill using the Atlas. But unless the MOD start ordering sharpish that line will close. What then? KC390? Good fast lifter slightly wider than the herc I think?

Couple of slightly used wave class knocking about if you want?

Uk and France are limited by ITAR restrictions on storm shadow/SCALP be they contain US sourced components so probably limited by the US position
