Just as this Landing Craft, Air Cushion, dashed across the waters off Queensland, Australia with a load of gear, so too are today's links coming straight toward you // MC2 Gabriel Weber/ Navy
Air cushion inflatin’, M1A1 Abrams main battle tank loadin’, stern ramp lowerin’, high speed wave-skimmin’ links, flying straight off the water and onto the beach to bring you these updates from across the Web:
- Break out the small arms, warm up the LRAD and tell BM1 to lower the small boat: It’s pirate season.
- The Navy’s newest model command center is as cool as both the Death Star and the starship Enterprise, according to this story.
- Some nice young men from the ballistic-missile submarine Nebraska paid a nice visit to veterans in Omaha on Monday. It won’t be long before ships like the Nebraska can send some nice young women on these sorts of trips, too.
- India may not be having much luck in actually getting its hands on the carrier it’s buying from the Russians, but Indian navy fighters did get to demonstrate some cats and traps — so to speak — on Russia’s existing carrier.
- Mike Burleson is talking about an idea that will make some readers nostalgic and others nauseated: reviving the Arsenal Ship, which he says would be the best way for the Navy to take on its new ballistic missile defense mission protecting Europe.
