This Picture Explains Why North Korea Never Wants To Fight a Naval War

The ultimate goal of the Republic of Korea Navy (ROKN) is to produce their own diesel-electric attack submarine.

China's Jin-class Submarine: A Ballistic Missile Nightmare For America?

Kris Osborn at The National Interest - 8 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Americas* China's Jin-class sub is armed and lethal. But can it compete with America's best sub? While it is likely little known about the exact technological make-up of the emerging Chinese Jin-class SSBN, it might not rival the emerging U.S. Columbia-class submarine. After all, the new, now-in-development Columbia class may be the quietest undersea boat ever to exist. It uses a quiet, efficient electric-drive and a differently configured X-shaped stern, among other technologies. What is known about the Chinese Jin-class is that it will be armed with ... more »

But Lockheed reportedly pitched what the Air Force considered to be a low-risk development and production process that the service hoped would minimize delays and cost overruns. The U.S. Air Force came very close to buying a rocket ship. In 1991, the Air Force selected Lockheed’s YF-22 fighter over Northrop’s YF-23 as the basis for ... more »

*"Roll The Dice"* "if you’re going to try, go all the way, otherwise, don’t even start. If you’re going to try, go all the way.
