Michael Peck at Test Feed Using Fields - 18 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, * Here are five key systems that will give the U.S. Navy an edge well into the 21st Century. The U.S. Navy has been the most powerful naval force in the world since 1943. But that supremacy is being challenged as Russia, and especially China, field ever-more sophisticated systems, including aircraft carriers, quiet submarines and hypersonic missiles. Navies that don’t evolve are doomed to defeat, and America is no exception. But the U.S. Navy has a plethora of new equipment on the drawing boards, the shipyards and the factories.

I need to eat less.” • When I work too much, I can say “I’m getting burned out. I need to stop working.” • When I drink too much, I can say “I need to st... more »
