Bursting the Torpedo Bubble Myth Equating Frigates With Carriers and Battleships (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here is an excerpted quote from the internet: “The explosion creates a steam cavity that first forces the midship keel upward. When the cavity subsequently contracts, the keel is forced downward. The bending moments on the keel during this brief process will break the keel. While the carrier may not ’sink', it’s very likely going to put it out of operation.” And even if it’s not true, what does it really matter? Let’s answer the second question first. It matters because this narrative perpetuate
Iran Is Not Even Close to Winning the War (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Adding to Iran’s woes, when oil is not pumped from a well for an extended period, the well’s future production is often severely degraded. The regime has been struggling to pay its troops and security forces on time; foreign bank accounts and financial channels have been severed or frozen. IMF projections show a 6 percent+ GDP contraction for 2026. And if the blockade stays in place, 2027 will be far worse. When a government cannot pay its forces, the vast majority of whom are conscripts, keepin
Claims of Genocide in Gaza Show Double Standard of Media, UN (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The charge of genocide leveled against Israel in Gaza fails every legal and factual test. Genocide, as defined by the 1948 U.N. Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, requires specific intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group as such. It is not measured solely by body counts or the inevitable horrors of urban combat. Intent matters. Without it, the accusation collapses into rhetoric designed to delegitimize a state figh
An Effective Strategy to Deal With Iran (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“[President Donald Trump] can declare that there is now a government in exile, an alternate regime,” he said. “It can be based in Western countries, or it can have affiliates in places in the Middle East that are sympathetic to it. And we will talk to the government in exile, the alternative government.” Along with recognizing a transitional government in exile, Hanson believes in keeping the pressure on the current regime and weakening it via ongoing economic sanctions and military strikes whil
Strait of Hormuz Highlights the US Navy’s Desperate Need for a Real Littoral Combat Ship (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The U.S. Navy desperately needs a small, tough, heavily armed surface warship. Its failed efforts over the past 30 years to develop a credible small surface combatant help explain why Iran has given our Navy fits in the Hormuz Strait’s narrow confines. The fleet is top-heavy with large blue-water combatants such as the 9,000-ton-plus Arleigh Burke destroyer, a capable, sturdy surface combatant. Designed for long-range engagement blue-water operations, the Burke is poorly suited to provide the pr
