The Five Worst Submarines to Ever Hit the Seven Seas
James Holmes, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*James Holmes* *Submarines, * Some sank under puzzling circumstances. Others are just plain bad. *Here's What you Need to Remember: *Senior leadership is crucial to the silent service, even more than in surface fleets. Subs operate largely independently, free of micromanagement from on high. In effect, a boat takes on the personality of its skipper. A boat blessed with a skilled, aggressive commander like Mush Morton or Eugene Fluckey is an effective boat. A sub not so blessed is apt to run afoul of hard luck--or worse. What a drag. *Top Gun* was about the best of the best flitt...
These 5 Bullets Were Designed to Destroy the Human Body
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Guns, Americas* The 1899 Hague Declaration concerning Expanding Bullets was an attempt to ban dum dum–type bullets for use in military conflicts on the grounds they caused especially severe wounds. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Unlike specialized ammunition types, +P ammunition is simply regular ammunition made more deadly by increasing chamber pressure. Normally, bullets are sent flying out of the barrel of a gun by the burning of gunpowder. Since their invention in the tenth century, engineers, soldiers and tinkerers have constantly tried to make firearm...
Was Biden’s American Rescue Plan Stimulus or Relief? Does It Matter?
William Hauk, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*William Hauk* *Politics, United States* As a macroeconomist who focuses on growth, I would argue it both matters – and it doesn’t. The Biden administration and Congress are fast-tracking a US$1.9 trillion coronavirus package that includes aid for states, cities, individuals, the unemployed, schools and much else. It could become law within weeks. *But is it stimulus or relief?* If you’ve been reading stories on the legislation, you’ll frequently see it called one or the other – or sometimes both. The White House calls it a “rescue plan,” while an economist might dryly refer to ...

*Kyle Mizokami* *Air Force, * There are large, well-trained and well-equipped air forces that are obvious candidates for such a list. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *China’s air forces continue to modernize, however, and China’s aviation industry is cranking out new designs quite rapidly. The country is simultaneously developing not one, but two fifth-generation fighters—the heavy J-20 fighter and the smaller J-31 fighter bomber. Qualifying the five most powerful air forces in the world is certainly a difficult and challenging proposition. There are large, well-trained and ...
Saturday Snippet: Two renowned gunfighters on the keys to their craft
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 17 hours ago
In an age when many police forces and law enforcement agencies are hobbled by politically correct restrictions, it's galling to realize that our safety against criminal attack lies in our own hands. Nobody's going to come to save us - at least, not right away. The old saw that "When seconds count, police are only minutes away" is (yet again) proving all too true. Self-defense requires having the tools and the training for the job. A firearm is often the last line of defense when lesser means have failed - but far too many people regard it as some sort of magic talisman, requi...

*Sebastien Roblin* *Stealth Fighters, Americas* Though Kelly’s earlier projects certainly experienced growing pains, the F-35 has proven slower and rockier than its predecessors. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *As jet fighters grow more expensive and vastly more complex, the innovative high-speed project management methods used by the Skunk Works may prove harder to sustain due to the need to integrate more and more advanced avionics and computers developed by industrial partners. In June 1943, aeronautical engineer Clarence “Kelly” Johnson received a momentous request. The ...

Not only do carriers have the traditional concerns of warships to deal with, they must also safely manage a fleet of aircraft which are often complicated in their ...
