Hawkeye pride: E-2C continues mission as new model rolls out

Yahya Monday 20 January 2014 13:37 0 comments

To the casual observer of carrier flight operations, the Navy’s E-2C Hawkeye aircraft may seem like the ugly ducklings of carrier air wings. But to those who’ve made careers of flying and fighting these early warning aircraft, they’re swans.
Those who fly them call them “Hummers,” a nickname derived from the distinctive sound of their turboprop engines.

The monster budget is coming, the one which, in a single blow, will make all the political debate since the federal election seem like an episode of Seinfeld, the show about nothing.

The strange thing is, as the government prepares its first budget and has set up the National Commission of Audit to prepare the way, one of the biggest, most dysfunctional, most wasteful and most misguided proposed programs has not even been mentioned. You could say it remains submerged.

Yahya 13:24 0 comments

Britain's Ministry of Defence is close to placing its first major tranche of orders for the F-35 fighter jet, with an award for about 14 of the “stealth” warplanes due in the next few weeks.

The orders for the new plane, being built in an international project led by US defence giant Lockheed Martin, will signal the increasing role of the British military in the controversial F-35 programme.

But the aircraft is also of vital importance to UK manufacturing companies, with more than 500 British companies, led by the likes of BAE Systems and Rolls-Royce, working on the project.

Maiden mission set for Navy's newest vessel today

Some people are calling it the "pickup truck of the sea." The Navy's joint high-speed vessel Spearhead can haul troops or supplies in a hurry, and it can do it on the cheap.

The 338-foot twin-hull catamaran, the first in its class, departs Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek today on its maiden deployment. The Spearhead's civilian skipper Douglas Casavant says the ship may appear simple - a vast cargo bay wrapped in a shiny aluminum shell - but its potential uses are many.

"Flexibility is probably the ship's greatest attribute," Casavant said.

WASHINGTON — The office of the secretary of defense (OSD) has directed the US Navy to limit its overall buy of littoral combat ships to a total of 32 ships, foregoing 20 more of the small, fast and controversial warships, Pentagon sources have confirmed.
The decision, in a Jan. 6 memo from Acting Deputy Defense Secretary Christine Fox, came after the Pentagon received its final 2015 budget guidance from the White House. Several major acquisition decisions, including direction on what to do with the LCS program, were awaiting the numbers from the Office of Management and Budget.
