Why the Zumwalt-Class Destroyers Failed to Meet the Navy's Expectations

And in general about aircraft carriers: any aircraft carrier because of its size and clumsiness is a very easy target for any hypersonic missiles. Those who believe in the effectiveness of aircraft carriers are stuck in the past.

Russian missile ship sunk off occupied Crimea
Ukraine's military intelligence (HUR) said on Feb. 1 that its operatives sunk a Russian #Tarantul-class Ivanovets missile corvette from the Black Sea Fleet overnight off of occupied #Crimea.
Ukraine's military intelligence released a video of a naval drone approaching a ship and an ensuing explosion.
The accompanying message said that the #Ivanovets received "direct hits to its hull" and was irreparably damaged. The Ivanovets #sunk afterward, the military intelligence said.

Russian #Submarine Completes Ballistic #Missile Test Firing
"The new nuclear-powered strategic underwater missile cruiser Imperator Alexander III successfully fired the #Bulava intercontinental submarine-launched ballistic missile from the White Sea to the Kura #combat field in the #Kamchatka Peninsula," it said, TASS reported.
I would say an ice-cold cold #war deterrent gesture.

#Russian #journalists from Izvestia uncovered a ~prostitution~ Child Traficking ring which supplied underage Russian girls to clients in Bahrain.
The people requesting the services of the girls were mainly #Arabs from Bahrain and the surrounding countries but also American officers from the #US #Navy's 5th Fleet which is stationed in #Manama, the capital of Bahrain.
The girls, aged between 13 and 17 years old were lured to the country by a group of Russian citizens which would seize their passports and other IDs to prevent them from escaping the country and then handing them over to their #Bahraini partners.
The ring is active since at least 2013 and at least one girl died due to physical trauma at the hands of one of the abusers after trying to escape the hotel where she was housed in. They were sold to clients for between 7000 to 14.000 USD.
The journalists, which worked undercover, also found out that a lot of the girls got #pregnant and were forced to carry out #abortion late into the pregnancy with some giving birth to dead fetuses which would end up thrown into garbage bins.
Izvestia discovered that the Russian girls were significantly more expensive than the girls brought there from #Thailand, #Uzbekistan or #Vietnam.

Iran, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Oman are planning to create a united navy to safeguard the transportation of goods and oil through the strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf.
According to Qatari internet web site Aljadid, the intiative was suggested by the Chinese government and diplomats from the 4 nations have already started the negotiations.
This is a biggest news since the normalization of the diplomatic ties between Iran and the countries south of Persian Gulf and a giant step to remove the US and UK navies from the strategic region.

#SABOTAGE NORD STREAM LES LARBINS DE L'ONCLE SAM
Le 8 février 2023, le plus célèbre #journaliste d' #investigation du monde, l' #Américain #SeymourHersh, a publié des #révélations fracassantes sur l' #affaire #NordStream 1 & 2.
Selon lui, c'est Joe #Biden, le #président des #États-Unis lui-même qui a commandité la destruction de ces #gazoducs, par l'intermédiaire de la #CIA.
Le sabotage a été mené en deux étapes, séparées par 3 mois d'intervalle, par des plongeurs de l' #US #Navy et les forces armées norvégiennes.
Le #gouvernement américain a tout nié en bloc sans aucune explication.
Quant aux #dirigeants #norvégiens, #allemands et #français, ils ne disent pas un mot et les grands #médias s'autocensurent au point de ne même pas oser les interroger !
Au milieu du brouillard #politique #français, entretenu par les débats misérables à l'assemblée nationale sur la #réforme des #retraites, François ##ASSELINEAU décortique ce #scandale #mondial qui révèle la vraie nature de l' #OTAN et la servitude honteuse de notre pays à l'oncle Sam.
Comment Les #Américains ont "Piégé et Humilié" Les #Européens [ #Révélation] | #H5Motivation
Le #journaliste #américain #indépendant #SeymourHersh accuse les #États-Unis d'avoir saboté en septembre dernier les deux #gazoducs sous-marins #NordStream 1 et 2. «En juin dernier, les plongeurs de l' #US #Navy, opérant sous le couvert d'un exercice de l' #Otan largement médiatisé au milieu de l'été, connu sous le nom de #BALTOPS 22, ont placé les explosifs déclenchés à distance qui, trois mois plus tard, ont détruit trois des quatre #pipelines de Nord Stream», affirme #Hersh sur son #blog, en citant «une source ayant une connaissance directe de la planification opérationnelle».
Le #sabotage avait été découvert le 27 septembre 2022 par des émissions de gaz à la surface de la #mer #Baltique, au sud-est de l'île danoise de #Bornholm. Les #sismologues avaient déterminé par la suite que trois explosions avaient provoqué quatre fuites sur les #gazoducs sous-marins Nord Stream 1 et 2, qui acheminent du gaz #russe jusqu'en #Allemagne.
