What do Americans think of Trump's plans to acquire Greenland? Half say it's a bad idea
America and Greenland share a continent. They both have water on their East and West sides.

Democrats, meanwhile, fear that the proposed legislation would strip VA of its ability to provide direct care, disrupting coordination and quality.

ARLINGTON, Va. – USS Sterett (DDG-104) will be the first destroyer to receive all electronic warfare, radar and combat system upgrades under the service’s Destroyer Modernization 2.0 program in a single availability period within the next five years.

Williams (DDG-95), USS Chung Hoon (DDG-93) and USS Halsey (DDG-97), which will undergo the project in two availability phases, DDG 2.0 modernization program manager Capt. Tim Moore told reporters yesterday at the Surface Naval Association symposium that Sterett will complete its upgrades in one go.
