The mega-yacht wars have escalated, with a Middle-Eastern billionaire building a 590-foot ship that’s expected to be the largest yacht in the world when it launches next year.
The ship, called Azzam, is under construction at a shipyard in Germany, according toSuperYachtTimes.com. It’s expected to measure 180 meters, or around 590 feet — or the size one-and-a half football fields, plus a basketball court.
That length would surpass the world’s current largest [...]
A super-stealthy warship that could underpin the U.S. Navy’s China strategy will be able to sneak up on coastlines virtually undetected and pound targets with electromagnetic “railguns” right out of a sci-fi movie.
But at more than $3 billion a pop, critics say the new DDG-1000 destroyer sucks away funds that could be better used to bolster a thinly stretched conventional fleet. One outspoken admiral in China has scoffed that all [...]

Featuring a radical [...]
From Washington Times:
On the surface, the Navy’s cherished fleet of 11 active aircraft carriers seems safe from President Obama’s budget slashers.
Conventional wisdom says the requirement to cut $488 billion from the Pentagon within 10 years will not necessitate banishing a single carrier because the president’s military strategy focuses on two carrier-dependent regions: Asia, whereChina is building a robust navy, and the Persian Gulf, where Iran threatens to block international oil shipping.
As Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta prepares to [...]
China’s first aircraft carrier on Wednesday left its shipyard in the country’s northeast to start its first sea trial, the state news agency Xinhua said.
The revamped old Soviet ship’s sea trial was in line with the schedule of its refitting project and would not take long, the news agency said, quoting military sources.
After returning from the trial, the carrier will continue its refit and test work, the [...]

There is worrying news for Australia and other nations that rely on China’s breakneck economic growth.
