🥥 Dear Leader #KimJongUn,
In your experience, are papier mache hulls as useful on nuclear attack #submarines as screen doors? 🥥

“We are prepared to spend billions on #submarines and billions on other #defence capabilities to counter a threat that may never occur when we have an existential threat.”

#ClimateChange will cause further threats beyond what is immediately apparent, by disrupting trade, starting resource wars and creating conflict in #Australia’s backyard. https://hear-me.social/@OccuWorld/110981114422514764

On the anniversary of the end of World War II, I had to post this story about the rescue of the O-19 by the USS Cod. Trust me, it related to the anniversary. It's a whopping great story. Check it out, toss in a couple of bucks so I can keep telling these stories if you are so inclined.

NUCLEAR SUBS FOR PRESS FREEDOM?
no press freedom, just nuclear subs.

Julian Assange: US rejects Australia’s calls to end pursuit of WikiLeaks founder during Ausmin talks

Ministers’ meeting focused on military cooperation and agreed to increase ‘tempo’ of US nuclear-powered submarine visits to Australia as part of Aukus pact.

The vacuous Keith 'Cess' Pitt said that #Victoria pulling out of hosting the #CommonwealthGames without warning will cause reputational damage. Two words for the tosser: French #submarines

@Jinjirrie

I understand the economic benefits to Australia of not buying the #submarines but what would the environmental benefits be?

Wouldn't it only be a smart move if we didn't face a conflict in the next 50 years?

#Submarines To celebrate the first meal, the crew welcomed the New Jersey’s sponsor, Susan DiMarco, who is a New Jersey resident, retired dentist and the wife of former Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson, to dine with them. The menu included some of the crew’s voted favorites, such as barbeque brisket, baked catfish, cornbread, accompanying side dishes and coveted “hard pack” ice cream. https://hii.com/news/hii-first-meal-virginia-class-submarine-new-jersey-ssn-796/

I have to say this is an old story but one of the most clever marketing stunts I have seen.

I'm just picturing a Soviet submarine crew that took a *really* wrong turn at R'lyeh and all you can hear from the conning tower is "сука блять!" and Катюша coming from an old LP record.

I hate to admit this but I was curious about whether millionaires’ Rolex watches might be recovered intact in the (not intact) carbon fibre wreckage. I asked my son who is a materials engineer & watch nerd & learned some things: 1. Rolex diving watches r designed for 300 metres but at 3800 metres might still be intact but not functional.
2. Some diving watches (other brand) are designed to function at 2000 metres!! They r filled with oil to prevent the glass from fogging. oil doesn’t compress like air so can withstand ridiculously high pressures. The steel is designed to flex so the pressure can equalise. They are quartz watches tho and at titanic depths the batteries would implode. Maybe watch manufacturers should be consulted when designing #submarines #titan #rolex #divingwatch
3. I found a few https://www.utswatches.com/2000m-dive-watch/

At this point, I think our #navy would be happy just to have some #submarines capable of operating in #water.

Call me petty, but I'd like the #BBC to devote whole pages of #news to the abruptly ended hopes and dreams of the 100+ kids who drowned on the #Messenia #migrant #boat too, and I suspect (or #hope) that most of the people who fund them would think similarly.

Wanna know wae military #submarines cannae go tae the bottom of the #ocean? They arnae spherical. Wanna know wae Aguste Picard's #bathyscaph "Trieste" cud? The people chamber was a sphere. Wanna know wae 5 people died yesterday near the Titanic? #Billionaire #Capitalists donnae understand nor care aboot #PHYSICS.

@jwildeboer why am I not surprised?

I mean that vessel wasn't even closely rated for that depth....

Like even #Russia's #Titanium #Submarines struggle going 5km deep and they may be the most advanced in that field due to extensive #SeabedWarfare capabilities by #GUGI...
