Refreshingly clear of A/C debate here. I assume BlueSky is where educated Americans hang out, and your dribbling cousin rumping lowers stick to X?

On this day in 1982, the loss of HMS Coventry. A complex and well executed attack that could have gone either way except for one fatal decision. Grab a beer and listen to SME’s discuss the strike. There’s more to it than you know. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

Remembering the loss on this day in 1982 of HMS Ardent. In our four part special we look at the Battle For San Carlos. The tactics, the ships, the aircraft and the men. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

12th May 1982. HMS Glasgow is struck by a bomb from an A4 Skyhawk. Audio of attack that gives you a feel for how such an engagement sounds, with 20mm Oerlikon and four five gun firing, and the subsequent damage control pipes you’d hear. youtu.be/O6zohkGwQg8?si…

Next Saturday at 2000 hrs on spaces. We are going to have a fresh look at the loss of Sheffield and see if our conclusions were on the mark. x.com/theangry5358...

Living at a time when the President of the US takes the opportunity to explain to me there is ‘see’, and ‘sea’, wouldn’t have been on my bingo card even after doing a kilo of smack.

Today marks the anniversary of the loss of HMS Sheffield. For an expert analysis of what happened that day, by former Type 42 destroyer operations experts, ShipWrektPod have you covered:- open.spotify.com/episode/0Jjs... podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

You know, months ago? I thought I was seeing a repeat of history. Bring the judiciary to heel. The press to heel. Law enforcement to heel. Create an armed force utterly loyal to you. Bring higher command in the military to heel. Open the toy cupboard to the military. Ring any bells of someone?

This is a great whisky.

UPDATE 035 - JMIC ADVISORY NOTE www.ukmto.org/-/media/ukmt...

Gun controller when he sets main battery to put three rounds five cables ahead of target… And Port LAS reports “Large explosion seen on that bearing”.

When a US destroyer CO tells the gunnery officer to put three rounds in the water ahead of the ship. But they hit the engine room.

Meet my new assistant gunner, Winston Jackie Beresford.

We know know the true dark powers at work in the WH. Behold ‘Merica. Your new overlord.

Worst ET reenactment EVER

I live in fucking Narnia I swear….

A potential solution to stopping Iranian shipping? Would be better than trying to stop and board shipping East of the SOH. www.globalsecurity.org/military/sys...

Pertinent time to remind you all we have a great podcast about operating in the Gulf in a high mine threat area. And the way things are going with the UK strategic reserve age increase? I may end up back fucking out there😂 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s... open.spotify.com/episode/6SNI...

Ballsy

Hmmmm not sure on this West Indies Porter. I’d say it’s a great deal more hoppy than a standard Guinness, and for me that translates into a sort of fizz. That said I like how much more punchy it tastes at 6%. Bitter coffee is more pronounced. Might be a little too stout for me.

An emotional interview that brought to a close our series of episodes looking at the loss of HMS Coventry in 1982. Grab a brew and listen as Dougie Douglas talks you through what happens when your ship is sunk. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

When the ‘strategic reserve’ are called up, you’ve only been onboard twenty four hours, and someone tries to tell you that you can’t have a smoke when welding sentry down the deep mag.

When the ‘strategic reserve’ are called up, you’ve only been onboard twenty four hours… And you’re piped to the Reg office.

Do we know if it’s true there’s no night leave granted on the Ford?

missilethreat.csis.org/missile/simo... Everyone in a panic as though this DG thing is news. It’s not.

x.com/adamjschwarz... Ok well…. Have to say he’s out Trump’d Trump here.

x.com/ajenglish/st... *sigh Inevitable really.

When you spend all day doing the aircrew survival kit distress flare check, and you put your overalls in the laundry… And an hour later the general alarm goes off.

It’s nonsense. If anything happened, they lost smoke containment and smoke boundary and some accommodation areas are now uninhabitable and so you hot bunk. And / or boundary cooling with seawater trashed some messdecks.

I think Cuba are watching this and fancy their chances.

Morning winners!

Well everything is going to shit so maybe ….

One of the things the people who haven’t transited the PG also don’t mention, is the large number of disused oil and gas platforms. In 1991 these had to be cleared , often with SF from submarines. Iraqi stay behind teams with support weapons were placed to catch shipping.

x.com/whitehouse/s... Yeah. I know.

This should serve as a reminder to EVERYONE who talks about the Straits. The risk is from where the convoy forms up outside the PG, and once you are through, the risk is the same UNTIL you get out again. Hormuz is just one part of a very dangerous place.
