Open Thread 175

It is once again time for our Open Thread. Talk about whatever you want, so long as it isn't Culture War.

Overhauls are my review of Top Gun: Maverick and from last year, RAM and The Small Carrier Problem.

    Interesting that the name mentioned as the new CJCS to replace General Brown was a 3 star. Usually it is a 4 star slot.

    Any guess as to who the next CNO will be?

    Finished Sheffield's Forgotten Victory. Nice tidy review. Nothing earth shaking yet still worth the time.

    Mentioned in the book was the 1964 26 part series from the BBC called The Great War.

    If you have have seen this it is excellent and every bit as good as its later cousin The World At War. Good segments on the RN and its learning curve. Very good watching.

    Adm Gilday was a 3-star before they tapped him for CNO. I think it's less usual to do that for CJCS, but these are unusual times.
