Today is National Drink Beer Day! In 1980, sailors on USS Eisenhower spent 152 consecutive days underway during which time they had three separate beer days. Because sailors were permitted to have two cans of beer on each milestone day, the deployment became known as the "Six Pack Cruise". I was on a two-pack cruise after spending 75 days at sea. Beer never tasted so damn good! 10 days later we pulled into Thailand and drank the town dry.




Sept 28, 1948: the Vought Cutlass flew for the first time. Based on German WWII tech, the F7U became the Navy's first swept wing fighter. Nicknamed the "Gutless" by pilots, the F7U had a short service history because its weak thrust and difficult handling led to a high accident rate. Also, was known to flame out in rain, a very serious fault! Futuristic looking aircraft for it's time.




Lotta nuclear sabre rattling in the world lately.

Taiwan’s silent service enters a new dawn with the unveiling of the long awaited domestically-built submarine..."On September 28, the Republic of China Navy (ROCN) christened the first Indigenous Defense Submarine (IDS), the future ROCS Hai Kung (SS-711). According to the official explanation, while “Hai” refers to “Sea”, “Kung” refers to the island of Taiwan in an elegant way. It also has the meanings of “big”, “stealthy” and “unpredictable”, a perfect name for a new class of attack submarine."

In a bid to reassure Berlin, senior British officials said that they had briefed their German counterparts in great detail about how they work with Ukraine in deploying their own Storm Shadow missiles, including revealing highly confidential operational procedures.

Ukraine had never hit any targets that the British wouldn’t approve, these officials told their German counterparts, assuring them that they could rely on Kyiv to honor any targeting agreement.

German officials said that if the Taurus is approved, its range would be shortened so as to minimize the risk of it being used to hit Russia. It is unclear whether Berlin would allow Kyiv to strike targets in occupied Crimea.
