    USS Gerald R. Ford

    Same thing happened to France, you don't see French wanting to flood American shores. It is poverty that drives their migration. The Duterte vote was an expression of wanting to reclaim their nationalism and stop being the pawns of other nations, especially the US. The fact Duterte is selling...

    USS Gerald R. Ford

    The vast majority of the people want money. They would migrate anywhere that would pay them more. The only love they have for the US is how much $$$ they can get out of it thanks to the failure of the government to get them out of poverty. You will find them in every corner of the globe...

    USS Gerald R. Ford

    It is clear now that the Phillipines is anti-US. The attrocities the US committed during the occupation will never be forgotten.

    USS Gerald R. Ford

    If the US is going to war with China they will bring everything they have. That would be 5 fully loaded CVNs, if they are sunk they would lose all of their aircraft and the other half of the carriers would be useless. It is a good thing they have USAF because the USN is severely lacking in...

    The MN has also installed Aster in Sylver A43, A50 and A70 VLS launchers in frigates, destroyers and other ships (non-flat tops). As I asked before, why not put ESSM in a VLS for the most important ship in the USN? The benefits are quicker launch times, 360 engagement and ripple fire capable...

    USS Gerald R. Ford

    The ESSM has a high g pull much like the Aster 15. Of course there are RIM for VSHORAD but CdG also has Sadral Mistral launchers for the same purpose. They should want a 360 degree engagement envelop for their top SAM and not a limited box launcher which also reduces launch times. CdG...

    I wonder why they didn't put ESSM in a VLS cell like the CdG does Aster 15.
