  1. On the outside it looks like an ordinary Glock 19, but the Navy SEALs’ Mk 27 hides modifications built for one of the hardest jobs a pistol can face: firing reliably the instant an operator emerges from the ocean. After 30 years with the legendary SIG Sauer P226, the SEALs switched to the lighter, simpler, corrosion-resistant Glock, and it has become one of the most trusted combat pistols in the world.
  2. A U.S. Navy vessel that was being serviced inadvertently dumped hazardous material into the surrounding bay on Monday, the service said. The Arleigh Burke-class Aegis guided missile destroyer USS Sampson was at the Vigor Shipyard on Harbor Island in Seattle, Washington, undergoing defueling operations when an estimated 2,000 gallons of diesel fuel spilled into the surrounding water.

  5. Yep, he actually said that... Pete Hegseth has blocked the promotion of female senior Navy officers without explaining his rationale.

The U.S. military has employed autonomous maritime systems in combat for the first time, with U.S. Central Command confirming that unmanned surface vessels participated in strikes against Iranian naval infrastructure as Washington continues operations aimed at protecting commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
  10. “It hasn’t made us more effective. It hasn’t made us more lethal,” Hegseth said. “I’m straight up just saying we should not have women in combat roles.” By the time of Hegseth’s appearance on the show in late 2024, women had been serving in combat positions for nearly a decade across the military. The decision to integrate women had been thoroughly studied—before, during, and after the process—and thousands of women had served in roles ranging from infantry to combat engineers to special operations.
