The entire premise of undersea strategic deterrence is based on the need for nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarines to hold potential attackers at risk of catastrophic destruction, without being found, detected, or seen by enemies in any way. 

When the Navy is ready to deploy a new 60kw ship-fired laser weapon from a destroyer later this year, maritime attack strategy and tactics will enter new dimensions of massive warfare on the open seas.

Navy destroyers will soon be armed with high-powered, precision 60kw laser weapons that can track and incinerate attacking drone targets at sea, bringing new “at-the-speed-of-light” attack technology to maritime warfare in new ways.

EXCLUSIVE: Long-range missiles from Iran splashed down close to a commercial ship in the Indian Ocean Saturday and 100 miles from the Nimitz aircraft carrier strike group, Fox News has learned, in the latest example of rising tensions in the region. 

A shirtless rioter wearing a horned bearskin headdress who stormed the Capitol during a mob attack served in the Navy but was booted after refusing to take a vaccine, according to media reports. 

New Virginia-class attack submarines are being built with a massive increase in firepower, much more sensitive and with powerful sonar detection and a new generation of computing, navigation, and command and control systems … and the Navy does not have enough of them.

Firing over-the-horizon deck-launched missiles, launching electronic warfare (EW) attacks, intercepting incoming enemy fire, and serving as a crucial information “node” across a networked surface, air and undersea force are but merely a few of the Navy’s intended missions for its emerging fleet of new frigates.

The topic is discussed so often it might seem like old news, yet ongoing questions about the future of aircraft carriers are as, if not more, relevant today than at any other time.

A significant and potentially lesser recognized element of the Navy’s recently unveiled 30-year shipbuilding plan is its call for a full-scale "doubling" of its fleet of amphibious assault ships, a move that suggests the Navy expects ship-to-shore operations and major maritime attacks to figure prominently in coming years.

It is a vast expanse … an indoor warehouse in Fort Worth, Texas, that almost resembles a small city, filled with row after row of F-35 stealth fighter components and structures at various stages of construction.
