#1 Sell one or two of the subs. Israel could use them; so could India. Walrus-class boats are supposed to be pretty good.

#3 Taiwan has been in the market for diesels for quite some time. Dunno if the merchants of Amsterdam are willing to peeve the Commies, though.

So you want to have an NoS (Navy of Steves) as well as AoS (Army of Steves)?

#7 mrp, that's a honorary title, no application needed, has to be deserved. ;-)

#8 Where can one find an application to become a Rantburg Space Cadet?

A number of years ago Mr. Lotp taught at the USAF grad school, having been involved in space matters for his entire uniformed career to that point.

On his walls was a "Pigs in Space" poster. On his desk was a mug with the picture of Marvin the Martian and the title "Space Cadet".

We still have the mug. It could be the rallying point for the RSC if I could pry it out of his possession .... ;-)

Oh hell yes! And if we can fish some Intruders out of a pond somewhere, we'll have an air wing too. Arghh, mateys. From the sea, forward!
