Will the US Navy DDG(X) #destroyer programme get cancelled? It is a much larger surface combatant compared to the Arleigh Burke and Ticonderoga classes of warship so it is much more expensive. With predicted costs spiralling, new technologies needed, and that it is not a USN priority there are some similarities with previous failed large surface combatant projects like CG(X) and the Zumwalt-class destroyer. It seems unlikely that the USN can support the construction of a mega-warship like this due to the expense when more submarines and uncrewed vessels are a priority. https://lnkd.in/gSKqu-WC Shephard Media Thanks to Mark Cancian Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) for comments and insight.

You might know a few undersea creatures, but have you heard of a Ghost Shark? Co-developed by #DSTG, Royal Australian Navy, and Anduril Industries, Ghost Shark is a stealthy, long-range autonomous undersea capability, which can conduct persistent intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. The first sovereign prototype, Ghost Shark 'Alpha', was unveiled earlier this year. Chief of Navy Vice Admiral, Mark Hammond, said the Ghost Shark will be a crucial tool in protecting Australia. 💬 'We are a nation girt by sea and dependent on access to the sea to ensure our economic wellbeing and national security. Ghost Shark is one of the tools we are developing for the Navy to patrol and protect our oceans and our connection to the world.'

I wish OSD and the Navy would read these books! All Marines should be pouring over these lessons for ideas how to shape amphibious operations in the 21st Century instead of focusing on only sensing operations in a littoral environment. The Corps should be able to cognitively and physically do both! You don’t always have to attack into the teeth of the enemy. Historically, most amphibious operations attacked a vulnerability and operationally turned a flank, and avoided strength. We focus on the major storm operations of WWII and ignore MacArthur’s brilliant New Guinea campaign. I believe even in the pervasive sensor dominated battlefield of today we can shape any environment, we need to ask the right questions, how do we maneuver from the sea, how do we concentrate for decisive effects. It will be difficult but not impossible.

Justin do you mean to tell us that if there is the potential for pending needs to protect our country and our allies that you are doing nothing? How about cutting 1/2 your staff and getting citizens to actually build our own planes, boats, weaponry and so forth. Nine years of doing nothing does not prepare us for what we are seeing around the world. Simply get our military up to speed as soon as possible. https://lnkd.in/etYsJzC3
