The Royal Navy is selling the HMS Invincible. Just the ticket for those lazy jaunts around the Eastern Shore...

Navy Stuff

Two links here.

The first is an article I wrote for the Naval Institute Proceedings. It is in their May issue.

The second is a response to a speech SECDEF Gates gave yesterday in which he took on the Navy.

UPDATE: Was interviewed on the phone by the Wall Street Journal yesterday for my thoughts on Secretary Gates' speech; that article is here.

Some stuff I posted elsewhere for those interested in the Navy. Here, and here.

In Which I Am Quoted (sort of) In A Fox News Story

Fox reported on the uproar following the Navy's naming a ship after John "Abscam" Murtha, and they cited some unnamed blogger for the following brilliant statement:

Wherever could they have found such eloquence?
