US Navy officials are already laying the groundwork for the next generation of nuclear-powered attack submarines, drawing on the current fleet to develop a fearsome new boat.

"We are looking at the ultimate apex predator for the maritime domain," Vice Adm. Bill Houston said of the new program at a Navy League event in July. Houston is now the head of Naval Submarine Forces, Submarine Force Atlantic, and Allied Submarine Command.

      The top enlisted sailor wants to boost education and quality of life

      Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy James Honea wants to revamp and expand how the Navy is educating its sailors. The Navy’s Enlisted Leader Development training aims to equip sailors with skills in character development, decision-making, self-awareness and ethics. But the Navy has largely distributed this training away from dedicated schoolhouses and, instead, dispersed it throughout the fleet.

      Carrier USS Ronald Reagan Underway from Japan After 11-Day Delay

      Carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76) got underway on Friday after canceling its departure six times since Sept. 18. Meanwhile, the Navy’s two Ghost Fleet unmanned surface vessel prototypes, which pulled into Yokosuka on Sept. 18, carried out drills on Wednesday with a U.S. Littoral Combat Ship and a Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) frigate. Reagan departed at 9.55 a.m. local time according to the Yokosuka city government. The Navy routinely informs the Japanese government of the departures and arrivals of U.S. nuclear-powered carriers at Japanese ports. The government, via the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then informs the relevant city government, which publishes the information as a matter of public interest.
