I’m wondering how that got there. Teenager painting it on the floor and the parents failing to remove it properly? Or something older?

Surveillance, recon and range of weapons has drastically changed. Satellites have the capability to identify a surface fleet and long range weapons are now able to be fired from long distances, find and hit their targets.

I think a couple submarines can effectively negate a carrier task force by just forcing the task force to keep their distance by the threat of a missile launch coming from a patch of seemingly empty see. Any surface ship hunting them is at risk of suddenly becoming the hunted themselves by the submarine or by any land based defense system that are in range.

Do they need to be able to fight across the entire Pacific? Their most likely adversaries are right next door and their most likely ally is the dominant naval power already.

I any money spent on a large carrier would probably be better spent on other things. You can spend 10 billion on a single carrier or get a fleet of ~100 F-35s. I would guess mid-air refueling and more planes will get more sorties over likely targets in a conflict than a carrier would.

I also don’t think carriers are going to be the dominant sea power force in a future peer conflict. I think the submarine will dominate the next war. The carrier will be regulated to power projection after the sea is won and made safe to operate in.

Here’s the goodreads page for it. It looks like it’ll either be extremely good or just fail horribly. I’m definitely going try to read it now.

From world creation to breakfast creation.

It not usually into the airspace. Just into the air defense zone which is over international waters. It’s the nation-state equivalent to “I’m not touching you.”

The Soviet Union/Russia have a habit of sending submarines into Swedish waters.

I believe that’s officially a variant rule. The system itself works fine without a grid. It can be done completely in the theater of the mind.

The grid is just commonly used because it simplifies movement and positioning greatly.

Yes, why waste so much time trying to prosecute obviously protected expression?

A YouTube channel called Truth and Foundation.

Straight shooter is an idiom meaning honest and straightforward or direct. Super is acting as an intensifier. Combined it means they are extremely honest and direct.

That’s Amore

I’m pretty sure it started as a thing where people were posting and saying that they are posting just so they can leave as the only rule of this sub and the r/195 sub (rest in peace) was that you had to post before you leave. And since then people have been shortening it to the point where they just say rule and now it is basically just a joke and is on basically all posts. I’m not certain about this and have no idea why I think it’s true, I might have just made it up and then I started believing it idk.

There is [email protected]. Those of us who watch the local feed will see it.

There’s also not so many posts in most communities that you need separate spaces to ask questions. So any community related to the question should be fine. [email protected] is probably the most general one here.

Awesome book too.

I honestly like the number eleven for the division in the US. There’s even a nice map.

If you want to see how weird it can get look at blightsight. Your consciousness can be blind but your body can still react to visual stimulus.

From my understanding of how federation and communities work is that the instance hosting a given community receives the postal, comments and votes for that community from other instances and then sends the combined data out to other instances that requests that data. Users from instances that aren’t federated could still interact if they both used a community on a third party instance they were both federated with. But I could be wrong about all that.

And your right. Brigading is probably too strong of a word outside of evidence of coordinating action.
