Fallout Re: Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.

I'm posting this here because it's showing one of my favorite jets and that like "TR" we're still not afraid to carry a "big stick" with our naval forces. This is the first deployment of an Amphibious Combat Assault ship into the Baltic in over 20 years. The ship is the USS KEARSAGE LHD-3. For this story released yesterday she was working with our NATO partners in an exercise.

I was happy to see that the AV-8B is still active and currently projected to be until sometime between 2030-2035. There are still issues with the F-35 and orders from them are being scaled back to support other service projects from all branches.

In the meantime, enjoy the article and great photos.

I must say I missed the article that said sailors have been redesignated as "soldiers", how'd that happen!?! Then also the media still thinks we have Battleships too!!

Regards,
Pat
