RE: https://mstdn.social/@Free_Press/116425777452697466 Stray thought: The flight deck of the CVN Gerald Ford looks amazingly empty as it transits the Suez Canal. Normally, US supercarrier flight decks are chocka with parked a/c (the hangars aren't large enough to allow all a/c in her air wing to be struck down). As one doesn't drive 100k tonnes through a canal at anything like fixed wing a/c launch speeds (wind over the deck is required), presumably the air wing is temporarily deployed to a friendly airbase while transiting? #USN #CONOPS

Under maritime law, particularly the principle known as the duty to rescue, there is an obligation for those at sea to assist individuals in peril, including drowning sailors. This is often referred to as the Good Samaritan Law in many jurisdictions THE #USN let unarmed sailors drown after they sank their ship. #RCN exercises with USA ships. We should stop that, they aren't trustworthy The Iranian warship that was sunk by a torpedo was returning from a joint exercise the #USA pulled out of on the last moment. Per protocol joining ships were unarmed. Ships were unarmed The murderers, #USN, knew they were unarmed, sank the ship and offered no help to the survivors. #TrumpWar #Iran

Morning, all, it's called #UNREP (Underway Replenishment) or #RAS (Replenishment At Sea); it's a routine evolution for any truly pelagic Navy. But it's not without risk. Warships occasionally collide when manoeuvring two/three massive ships within 50 metres of each other at up to 18 knots. An Inquiry will determine the cause of this complex casualty, but Donald Tantrump will undoubtedly blame #DEI, as the DDG's CO is Black. #USpol #USN #Trump #GOP #MAGA #RacistTrump https://youtu.be/XMy6fANc7W8?si=BvKw2vrXpy4atXLE
