One of the more cringe/ hilarious developments to come out of the #UkraineWar for #Russia is having one third to HALF of their #BlackSeaFleet destroyed...
By a nation without a #navy
🤪
Oh, #Ukraine had a navy before Feb 2022
But they scuttled their ships to prevent them from falling into Russian hands
Since then, Ukraine has rewritten the rules of naval warfare:
#Drones, drones, drones
(and missiles and intelligence)

Here's a video posted by an active duty Navy Chief stationed on the USS Truman in Norfolk VA.
He details recent situation where one of his sailors upon returning from an active duty deployment ended up detained by local cops + ICE on his way to a gas station for not looking American enough.
Pretty bad when the boot's aren't safe.

The #Pentagon’s statement, which was posted on social media on Monday, cited a federal #law that allows retired service members to be recalled to active duty on orders of the defense secretary for possible court-martial or other measures. Sen #MarkKelly served in the US #Navy as a fighter pilot before going on to become an #astronaut. He retired at the rank of captain.
The #Pentagon says it is investigating #Democratic Senator & former astronaut #MarkKelly of Arizona for possible breaches of #military #law after Kelly joined a handful of other lawmakers in a video that called for US troops to refuse unlawful orders - which happens to be required by military law. Ridiculous.

#Trump & #Hegseth #military address🤬🧵
#Defense Secy #PeteHegseth addressed the gathering of military leaders earlier.
He assailed what he called "decades of #decay" caused by policies promoting #diversity & #inclusion in the #USmilitary.
"Foolish & reckless political leaders set the wrong compass heading & we lost our way. We became the 'Woke Department,'" Hegseth said as he kicked off the event in Quantico, Virginia.
"But not anymore," he said.
Addressing the room full of the #US’ top #generals & #admirals, summoned from around the world w/o explanation last week, #Hegseth defended his #firings of #FlagOfficers, which include the top US general, a #Black man, & the #Navy's top admiral, a #woman.
He said the officers he relieved were part of a “broken culture”.

Spain joins Italy in deploying a navy ship to assist the Gaza aid flotilla.
Following Italy's decision, Spain now also announced it will send a navy ship to assist the flotilla to the famine-stricken Gaza, set to break Israel's longstanding blockade of the Strip and deliver crucial aid.
The decision comes in light of recent attacks on several of the convoy's ships.

The #Pentagon has approved the use of a #Navy base on the outskirts of #Chicago as a staging ground from which the #Trump admin can [purportedly] launch operations against undocumented immigrants….
#NavalStationGreatLakes will serve as a hub in upcoming operations overseen by #DHS….
It could also potentially be used as a place to house #NationalGuard or active-duty #military#ServiceMembers, if #Trump orders a surge of #US #troops to the city, as he did in #LosAngeles & #WashingtonDC.

Found some old badly degraded 35mm slides at a thrift store a couple of weeks back and finally got my scanner thing working. Most of the pictures are of sailors and ahips (I'm guessing this was WW2 or shortly after based on almost nothing).
If there are any #Navy or #Ship enthusiasts here I'd love your thoughts (and have more pics too)
