The Navy plans to expand the number of submarine crews that women can serve with, after doubling the number of female officers coming into the community in recent years, but not yet increasing the number of boats with gender-integrated crews.

Vice Adm. William Houston, the commander of Naval Submarine Forces, last month signed a “major revision” to the force’s gender integration plan that would allow females to serve in all submarine homeports.

      F-35C With Mirror-Like Coating Photographed Aboard Carrier

      The sudden arrival of mirror-like coatings on all of America's stealthy tactical jets (F-22, F-35, F-117) definitely grabbed a lot of interest starting in late 2021 and appeared repeatedly through 2022 in various forms. But all the known instances of combat aircraft receiving these exotic treatments, which are thought to decrease the signature of the aircraft, most likely in the infrared spectrum, have been on examples flying for testing purposes, although the concept dates back decades. Now, one F-35C that was operating aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln off the California coast has appeared this week with similar coatings.

      We Might Have Just Seen the World's First Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile Attack

      U.S. Navy destroyer Mason (DDG-87) was wrapping up a mission rescuing a tanker from pirates in the Gulf of Aden when the situation sharply escalated. The ship’s radar detected at least one—or possibly two—missiles moving toward its position at supersonic speeds, each loaded with well over a half-ton of explosives. The day before, Liberian-flagged tanker M/V Central Park—stuffed full of phosphoric acid—had issued a distress call after reportedly being boarded by unknown armed assailants 35 miles south of Yemen’s coast and 50 miles east of Djibouti. Central Park’s crew of 22 took shelter in the vessel’s ‘citadel’, an armored panic room.
