Speaking on board USS George Washington in Japan, Trump promises an executive order to revert US aircraft carriers back to steam-powered catapults. EMALS initial development expensive and delayed but now working on the USS Gerald R Ford. Benefits ✅Faster launch cycles of aircraft ✅Power adjustable to match size of aircraft, extending airframe life ✅Frees up space and weight ✅Big reduction in manpower requirements and high associated cost ✅Safer due to eliminating high-pressure steam lines ✅Reduces stress on other shipboard systems Steam cats are no longer in production and would be very expensive to change the design of future carriers

Cold War incident in the Sargasso Sea in November 1983, involving a Soviet submarine and U.S. Navy vessels. The submarine is the Soviet K-324, a Victor III-class nuclear-powered attack submarine. U.S. Navy Spruance-class destroyer USS Peterson (DD-969). The smaller vessel is the Soviet Moma-class survey ship Nakhodka. The K-324 had previously snagged the towed sonar array of another U.S. frigate, the USS McCloy, which damaged its propeller and forced it to surface. The vessels in the image were involved in the subsequent rescue and salvage operation for the disabled Soviet submarine.

Damage to HMS Glamorgan post Exocet strike 12th June. Of note is the MRS3 director, which appears to have tracked the missile until impact. The missile possibly ricocheted off the round dome, activating the delay fuze, before skidding along the deck and detonating, blowing a hole down.
