Where oil and gas normally travel by tanker ship from the Persian Gulf. A story by @lazarogamio.bsky.social, Blacki Migliozzi and River Akira Davis 🎁 tinyurl.com/5dd83fk3 #sankey

After 4 weeks of hostilities in the PG and Belgian crews in the area, not 1 word from Belgian labour organizations. Shows how much BTB, ACV Transcom and ACLVB Transport care about our seafarers. They'll just refer to ITF. They can't be bothered. @vrtnws.be @vtmnieuws.be

This is quite damning, and to be fair illustrative of the reliance on an ever diminishing pool of outdated airframes for a number of key US airborne force multipliers (the KC-135 fleet being the most notable example).

If the Trump administration is really going to use ground troops to "reopen the Strait" that doesn't mean Kharg - that means Qeshm. Qeshm is twice the size of Bahrain, houses considerable strike capability, is only a few km from the mainland, and is home to almost 150k civilians. Bad bad bad.

New U.S. movements toward the Gulf. This time, they involve U.S. Marine Corps F-35Cs—a type of aircraft that has made a stopover in the UK for the first time. www.itamilradar.com/2026/03/29/u...

The UK has revealed it is ready to act against Russian ‘shadow fleet’ shipping sailing in UK waters, including boarding and detaining ships if required 🇬🇧 www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2...

Highly valuable U.S. E-3 Sentry AWACS aircraft described as ‘damaged’ by an Iranian missile. That counts as ‘destroyed’ when viewed objectively

Not suspicious, wasn't aware Poland has a "big" Lng terminal, as they never used to buy gas from shitnya in the past 2 years

28 Mar 1942 // Destroyer HMS Campbeltown (ex USS Buchanan) was expended as an explosive blockship in the St Nazaire raid: she rammed the dry dock gate, and wrecked the dock when her charges detonated. Image shows her before the explosion (Bundesarchiv CC BY SA 3.0). #RoyalNavy #WW2 #NavalHistory

#OTD On 28 March 1941, the Battle of Cape Matapan opened off southern Greece, where British and Australian warships confronted the Italian fleet using radar-directed night attacks, severely weakening Italy’s naval presence in the Mediterranean. #WWII #navalhistory #royalnavy

After the Viggen for India affair (the US blocked RM8/JT8D export approvals) the F404 selection was apparently contingent on the US giving a written undertaking to not do the same thing again. Unfortunately now Trump is in charge that promise wouldn't be worth the paper it's written on.

Go to our Lost and Found page. And then take a look at the Iranian navy vessel named MAKRAN. She's got a 30 meter wide crater in her deck all the way down to the water. This was as a result of a secondary air strike just days after the first. tankertrackers.com/report/losta...

Expulsion orders by Italy’s Interior Ministry came after officials found that Chinese agents had sought to locate regime critics living in the country in order to intimidate and harass them, raising “national security” concerns.

...and such a bridge is of course much better depicted on this actionpacked painting of Battle of Helgoland #BattleOfHelgoland 1864 😁 #NavalHistory Notice overhead netting.

26 Mar 1942 // Destroyer HMS Jaguar was torpedoed off Sidi Barrani, Egypt, by U-boat U.652, while acting as one of the escorts for oiler RFA Slavol (also torpedoed and sunk). She exploded and broke in two, sinking with the loss of 193 men. (Imperial War Museum A 869) #RoyalNavy #WW2 #NavalHistory
