Monday Reading

Top notice to Jeffrey Lewis over at ArmsControlWonk with this piece Why The Navy Should Retire TLAM-N. Interesting read, perhaps important in QDR season when the nuclear inventory is being examined.

A guest post at Commandant Allen's blog from RADM Brian Salerno (CG-5: Assistant Commandant for Marine Safety, Security, and Stewardship) regarding his testimony for the Coast Guard on Maritime Domain Awareness.

Kennebec Captain is discussing the latest news regarding the Maersk Alabama.

War is Boring is discussing aircaft carriers in Asia with two pieces: Why Japan Won’t Have Aircraft Carriers Anytime Soon and Imagining China’s Aircraft Carrier. A lot of links to browse off those blog posts, and worth the time.
