“Submarines can lay mines” “Tugboats can work as fireboats” “F-15s with QUICKSINK can sink merchant ships” “ESBs can be used as hospital ships” NO THEY CAN NOT Why? Because in a large scale peer war solid platforms WILL be oversubscribed. Dual-use only works in small wars.

If you tell yourself lies long enough it becomes hard to know the truth Is this true? The good news is I know a journalist who’s a Master Mariner and spent years in shipyards. Given 2 days on this ship he would 💯 report the truth Bad news is USN won’t let me aboard her
@johnkonrad i heard those ships were in worse condition than was thought and were deemed unsuitable for refitting and the congress made the navy keep them for so long
