Road to 350: What Does the US Navy Do Anyway?

There are operational conventional plants that put out the same power as a Ford class.

Sure, but generating that kind of power consistently is going to impact range, which is the point I'm making with Randy.

War is the ultimate innovation factory. That’s why UKR is doing better than we try to kill Pahrumphians on the range.

Fuck the Pahrumphians…I’d sign up for another go to get at those bastards.

Call me when it's 1.21GW...

The folks in Ukraine are doing it in extraordinarily rapid iteration driven by daily ops that dwarf any of our exercises.

Our experts who have been there say we are way behind. Your comment on our exercises backs that up.

Maybe how we do our tactics will evolve to exploit the new capabilities offered while working around the weak spots.

Yes but there is also COA 2 which is the one we’ve decided to go with…

Fake the reports up to glowing language, everything we are doing is fine. There’s a bunch of A holes at the PEO that need to explain why we are spending what we are on the Altius 600 and going thorough all the efforts when the Ukrainians already pulled them from the battlefield like “this thing is trash.”

Does it come with toilet paper?

This ship will not operate alone and can rely on other ships for helicopters.

Fair enough, but even the Missouri had it's own organic ISR during the Gulf War.
