Mark Your Calendars--Seapower Panel At Heritage 06 April 2024

I wanted to let readers know of an upcoming panel discussion at The Heritage Foundation in Washington on 06 April 2024 from 1100-1200. Follow this link to sign up to attend in person, or to follow via the live webcast.

The title of the panel is "Sea Power in the 21st Century", and joining me on the panel will be Ron O'Rourke of the Congressional Research Service and Peter Swartz from the Center for Naval Analyses.

It should be a good discussion.

First item of business: Seapower should be one word.

A Moment of Sober (ha!) Reflection

This is a purely frivolous post, but I wanted to thank the crew of DDG 55 for reminding me that as an American civilian, my liberty is being watched over by a Navy in which the good ships USS Stout and USS Porter can (and, more importantly, do) meet up on the high seas as they pass and arrange a beer session for later when both are in port. This kind of coincidence and diligent attention to the important things tweaks my amusement gland.

Thanks from this civvy to both crews, and may the beer be worthy of your ships.
