Bummer: The Navy’s Largest Battleship Never Hit the Waves

*Kyle Mizokami* *Battleship, * Numerous proposals were floated for the Montana-class ships, though they all had one thing in common: they were considerably larger than the Iowas. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The U.S. Navy never built more battleships after the *Iowa* class, let alone larger ones. The *Montana*-class battleships were obsolete before the steel was cut for them—tragic for battleship fans but proof that the Navy was heeding trends and choosing to spend resources wisely during a turbulent and stressful time.

The Plan for Combatting a Chinese Invasion of Taiwan

*Kris Osborn* *military, Asia* A Chinese amphibious assault coming across the Taiwan strait would likely be detected by satellite or drone surveillance well in advance of there being any possibility of landing ashore. The U.S. Navy is preparing to defend against and prevent what it identifies as possible Russian or Chinese attempts to accomplish a “fait accompli,” by essentially annexing, invading or taking over a particular area faster than the United States and its allies can respond.

Forget Another Stimulus Check: Millions of Americans Could Soon be Homeless

*Trevor Filseth* *Evictions, * In purely practical terms, it is immoral to insist that Americans can live in property that they do not own and not be forced to pay rent. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *There is a clear argument for the moratorium: it has allowed many tenants, some unemployed and desperately in need of financial help, to remain in their homes during the pandemic. In the early days of the pandemic, as many Americans lost their jobs and consequently fell behind on their rent, the Centers for Disease Control issued a federal moratorium on evictions.
