Kudos to Dr. Tom Karako and Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) for hosting another most interesting security forum. This week, the spotlight was on #RADM Fred Pyle, N96 on the #CNO's staff at the #Pentagon. The wide-ranging, overarching theme: recent operations in the #RedSea and #MediterraneanSea, building the #futurefleet, and pursuing #globalovermatch capabilities. The discussion may be viewed at https://lnkd.in/espsSkTK Great insights and updates were provided by the US Navy two-star leader. Of relevance to MS&T: In response Dr. Karako's question, how have the ships [in the Red Sea] been performing?" RADM Pyle responded, "We could not be more pleased with how they are performing. It is evidence of...investments in training, #virtual, #live and #constructive of how we train..." MS&T followers have watched US Navy make significant investments in #surfacewarfaretraining since the service's two horrific collisions at sea in 2017. Most recently we noted this development https://lnkd.in/e6EXF_53. We'll continue following and commenting on the sea service's efforts to strengthen its training programs across the LVC domains Marty Kauchak, editor US Fleet Forces Command Allied Maritime Command Naples US Naval Education & Training Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD)

Serco MEO (formerly JJMA) -I bid (Next Generation Logistics Ship) NGLS with Philly Yard builder of NSMV - this is just what mission discription this article points to, a common hull logistics ship. It was a multiple award phase 1 concept study 2 years ago- I was floored Philly/Serco didn’t get an award not even for a concept!!!- Austal got an award, TAI got an award, I don’t recall the 3rd a- so yes there is a program and contract for this sort of thing, and a builder delivering on it a potential hull- for some reason there was no appitite for what the article proposes or at least there wasn’t 2 years ago in the program which is looking to acquire just this. I will say 300M is a healthy price point for a craft of this size, and the ships were ordered as a block which helps

🌐 ARCTIC CIRCLE -- Forces from the U.S. Navy, U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, Canada, Denmark, Norway, and the United Kingdom recently concluded high-impact training throughout the pan-Arctic region; a vast area stretching from Alaska all the way across Canada and into Greenland. Arctic Edge 24, a U.S. Northern Command exercise, emphasized integration and Joint Force tactical effectiveness in a variety of chilly scenarios such as: diving, helicopter fast roping, swift insertions, snow mobile tactics, long-range endurance-building movement -- all culminating in the Joint Force responding to a fast-attack submarine event. 🔥 This training epitomizes the nation’s unwavering commitment to maintain an enhanced presence, strengthen cooperative partnerships, and build a more-capable Arctic maritime force. 🌊 Capt. Bill Gallagher, Naval Special Warfare Group TWO Commodore, emphasized his team’s unique capability to conduct complex operations in the water column and maritime domains like the Arctic where presence helps deter aggression and demonstrates the unwavering preparedness to defend the homeland in the Arctic. Naval Special Warfare stands as the nation’s elite maritime special operations force, extending the Fleet’s reach and securing access for the Joint Force in both competition and conflict. 🔱 View entire story here: https://lnkd.in/gg-dC-rq #ArcticEdge24 #SpecialOperations #ArcticSecurity #NavySEALs #NavySWCC #USSOCOM  

✅ Elevating naval preparedness with advanced davits Effective response in mission-critical naval operations hinges on crew proficiency in safe boat handling. Recently, US Navy personnel have undergone rigorous training on the advanced davit systems provided by Vestdavit Inc. for the newly built expeditionary sea base (ESB) ships, ensuring their readiness for diverse military operations. 📣 “Davit operation is an essential element of a naval ship’s response and deployment roles to carry out military missions. As well as the requirement for technical robustness and reliability to perform repetitive boat launch-and-recovery operations in rough sea conditions, human competence is an important factor to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment, so system training is key,” explains Vestdavit Inc.
