It's time once again for the regular Open Thread. Talk about whatever you want, so long as it isn't Culture War.
Overhauls are my review of Batfish, the list of US museum ships, Italian Battleships in WWII, NWAS Light Attack Part 1, NWAS Cruise Missiles Part 1, Zumwalt Part 2, my review of Hornet, Military Spaceflight Part 2, and for 2024, Military Spaceflight Parts nine and ten, Air Attack on Ships Part 6 and Southern Commerce Raiding Part 9.
I'm going to designate tomorrow (8/2) at 1 PM Central Time (GMT-6) as the Schelling Point for anyone who wants to hang out in voice chat on the Discord. I will probably be there, but might have other things going on.

It looks as if we finally have a CNO! Senator Dan Sullivan dropped his gambit to hold up Admiral Caudle's appointment until Congress re-opened Adak NAS.
Someone must have had a convivial chat with him all the while offering tea and biscuits. It worked he was, to use a passive phrase, convinced to knock it off.
Adak is great for ETOPS contingency planning, but not quite sure what the value add would be to stand up the station again.
