We actually had an FCIF for a while because of F-22 pilots and their landing gear shenanigans.

Finally we can spend 10-20 years now planning for jungle war fighting equipment since the Middle East ones will be useless. Hey Retro Vietnam stuff time! Oh I was tooling around looking for Prime Deals for the Washington Post (since reupping to the Economist I’ve been getting back into current affairs again) and if you have Prime you can get three months of the Post free and then it’s $5.99 a month. Anyone know of any decent NY Times deals. Basically I’ve lost my ability to deal with paywalls or ignoring sources using them. Also morbid interest besides say the WSJ or Daily Telegraph are there any decent center-right Newspapers our there worth reading (cue jokes about WaPo incoming).

The Truman thing is apparently about whether or not to go through with the midlife refueling and overhaul in 2024. Seems odd to not do it but the Pentagon apparently announces back in February that they’d start decommissioning the ship instead when the refueling is necessary. https://www.stripes.com/cno-nominee-backs-navy-plan-to-scrap-uss-truman-as-white-house-vows-to-keep-the-ship-1.579086 While we are building new carriers it seems weird for the CNO to want a smaller fleet.

Someone mentioned that in cspam and then told the story of how when a dude set off a charge on the Iowa, Reagan administration blamed it on " the gays" wikipedia posted:The first investigation into the explosion, conducted by the U.S. Navy, concluded that one of the gun turret crew members, Clayton Hartwig, who died in the explosion, had deliberately caused it. During the investigation, numerous leaks to the media, later attributed to U.S. Navy officers and investigators, implied that Hartwig and another sailor, Kendall Truitt, had engaged in a homosexual relationship and that Hartwig had caused the explosion after their relationship had soured. In its report, however, the U.S. Navy concluded that the evidence did not show that Hartwig was homosexual but that he was suicidal and had caused the explosion with either an electronic or chemical detonator.

Weren't manpower deficiecies cited at the heart of what.the Navy needs to address with it's current op tempo? Seems like keeping the carrier around and Manning a new one being constructed is gonna further constrain Manning for the target community

I heard that he originally canceled the refueling to save money, but reversed course as soon as it hit the press. He causes then solves problems and acts like he's a master strategic genius.

Manpower needs are always something the Navy needs to address. Doesn't even matter which navy we're talking about or even what century we're talking about. That said my underinformed opinion is that decommissioning the Truman instead of biting the bullet and refueling her is probably a false economy considering how gung ho China is about carrier building.

It's very clear that Barr is a loving snake. Democrats are smart to his legal technicalities now, so they want a lawyer to do the House's questioning tomorrow. This Senate hearing is essentially worthless due to legal squirming and senators not bring smart to the legal poo poo. For that reason, Barr is trying to get out of appearing at the House tomorrow.
