#1 What says Admiral James Richardson?

"Sooner or later the Japanese will commit an overt act against the United States and the nation will be willing to enter the war."
President Franklin D. Roosevelt

#2 Change of home ports or just differnt deployments?
a change of home port is spendy, and thanks to BRAC there isn't a lot of capacity on either coast to absorb more ships.

#3 Kinda like the "old days".

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

That be where the action is.

#6 "From the Atlantic to the Pacific" > Despite the UK's budget troubles + EuroDollar Crises, the USDOD must have faith in the UK + NATO-EU, to include the revamped Russian Mediterranean, Black Sea Fleets, etc. to "hold the line" in the Med + Atlantic.

AFAIK the USDOD = US GOVT. is still forecasting no major wars in the World thru at least Year 2050 iff not Year 2100, only minor conflicts + UN-led "Police/Peacekeeping/Humanitarian Actions" [OWG-NWO = "Globalism" centric]. THIS LEAVES THE USDOD TO FOCUS ON SPACE TECHS, INCLUD BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE EFFECTS OF SOLAR-LED GWCC + "LAND/SEA CHANGES" ON USN SHIPS + PROPOSED "GLOBAL TASK FORCE" ["1000-Flag OWG Navy" = pre-Fed Starfleet Command].

#7 FYI CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > [Book] A DRONE-EAT-DRONE WORLD, of the near? future. Air-sea Drone "Hunter-Killers" prowl in search of wily dastardly Enemy Drone Units or Forces.

DRONE WAR OR NO DRONE WAR, STILL NEED PROTECTION FROM GWCC = THE SUN.

#8 The USDOD-Navy should watch + learn from Queen Liz's upcoming Diamond Jubilee, i.e. the traditional Spithead all-Royal Navy Review, OR IN 2012 THE POSSIBLE LACK OF ONE.

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [Telegraph.UK] DIAMOND JUBILEE: THE QUEEN NO LONGER RULES THE WAVES.

UK Perts are nervousy twitchy oer how big the Spithead Naval Review may, or may not be, for Queen Liz this year.

BRITISH GRAND/HOME FLEET = POST-COLD WAR, POST 9-11 ARE-YOU-BRITS-SURE-ITS-A-GRAND-SQUADRON, + STILL GETTING SMALLER.
