You don’t move those kind of assets into theater unless you’re planning to use them

She’s open about her rough past. She was an absolute whore back then and turned her life around.

Just play the bowls with all of the eligible teams before the playoff brackets are created then create the playoffs after bowl season and hold them then. It'll make the bowls matter.

this quite the foolish take.

How is it foolish? The Japanese army/navy competition throughout the war is well-documented and caused operational downfalls in multiple theaters.

What Japan was able to do was impressive but once faced with the industrial power of the U.S. they crumbled. In a future war with China we will look like Japan

Wouldn’t a single hypersonic missile with a battlefield nuke take that ship out? Maybe I’m ignorant but this seems obvious unless there is some top secret weapon which can kill the missiles.

We already have missiles built for BMD and they can shoot down hypersonics. The idea of anyone launching even a tactical nuke is insane though. That would elicit a nuclear response.

Also, the Constellation’s SPY-6 suite was designed with countering hypersonic threats in mind

The Navy is ending its commitment to build the troubled Constellation class frigates, service secretary John Phelan announced today on social media. The move is the first of what Phelan said will be several changes designed to speed up Navy ship production.

“From day one, I made it clear: I won’t spend a dollar if it doesn’t strengthen readiness or our ability to win,” Phelan explained. “To keep that promise, we’re reshaping how we build and field the Fleet—working with industry to deliver warfighting advantage, beginning with a strategic shift away from the Constellation class frigate program.”

“The Navy and our industry partners have reached a comprehensive framework that terminates for the Navy’s convenience the last four ships of the class, which have not begun construction,” Phelan said in a video he posted on X. “We greatly value the shipbuilders of Wisconsin and Michigan. While work continues on the first two ships, those ships remain under review as we work through this strategic shift.”

The Navy first announced in 2020 that it had picked Marinette Marine in Wisconsin, a wholly owned subsidiary of Italy’s Fincantieri, to build the Constellation class, which was to be based on an off-the-shelf design. Construction of the USS Constellation began in August 2022. The Navy currently has a total of six of the ships on order, out of what was expected to be an initial tranche of at least 10 of the frigates. The first example was slated to be delivered in 2029, however, Phelan’s decision means the last four ships in this class will no longer be built.

Absolute clusterfrick. Phelan is a joke, NAVSEA is a joke. The whole structure is rotten from top to bottom. Our navy is crumbling from worn out hulls and we can’t get a single new surface class up and running for a production line. We’re going to keep pushing out Burkes forever it seems.

The whole idea was to take a proven design and rush it into production with minimal design changes to boost the surface fleet but the navy decided they wanted to make changes to 75% of the ship.

We already just fricked up with the E-7 Wedgetail and now this is another procurement disaster.
