“The current crisis has already gone too far,” Ban said at a press conference in Andorra. “Things must begin to calm down, there is no need for the DPRK to be on a collision course with the international community. Nuclear threats are not a game.

US Navy shifts destroyer in wake of North Korea missile threats
The U.S. Navy is shifting a guided-missile destroyer in the Pacific to waters off the Korean peninsula in the wake of ongoing rhetoric from North Korea, U.S. defense officials said.
The USS McCain is capable of intercepting and destroying a missile, should North Korea decide to fire one off, the officials said.
Still, U.S. defense officials insist that there is nothing to [...]

Australia has rejected a proposal to host a US nuclear aircraft carrier strike group on its west coast.
A Pentagon-commissioned report on repositioning US forces in the region had suggested relocating a carrier from the US East Coast to an Australian naval base south of Perth as part of a shift in the US military’s overseas deployment to the Asia-Pacific region. The report had been drafted by the Center for Strategic [...]
It’s getting easy to overlook the tired rhetoric and hollow tension surrounding Iran, the U.S. and Israel.
It’s been months, and months since the back-and-forth began. First, Iran’s shutting the Strait of Hormuz, then its saying it’d never shut the strait. Then Israel’s planning a solo attack. No, they’re not.
It’s frustrating, but that doesn’t mean the situation couldn’t turn ugly at the drop of a hat.

The US Navy was recently lambasted by Republicans for spending $26 a gallon on biofuels during the recent RIMPAC international naval exercises; all part of its Great Green Fleet Demonstration. However little note was taken when last month the US Air Force spent $59 a gallon on biofuels to prove that alternative fuels can be used in its military aircraft; once the small price difference issue has [...]

The US Navy has unexpectedly dispatched a fourth aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf, along with a fleet of underwater drones in what is being considered just the latest move in a series of escalations leading towards a potential war with Iran.

The fact that China has been building its military with speed and agility in recent years is nothing new, but now Beijing is going head-to-head with one of the U.S. Navy’s most troubled programs.

Update:
DEBKAfile’s sources disclose that the US President decided on this step after hearing Russian officials stating repeatedly that “Moscow would support the departure of President Bashar al-Assad if Syrians agreed to it.” This position was interpreted as opening up two paths of action:

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 [...]

That smiling guy is Bill Warren, the Californian treasure hunter who claimed he was searching for Osama Bin Laden’s dead body back in June 2011. He didn’t find him then, but now he claims he has located the cadaver.

“I’ve located where they threw him away. I’m the only one with this information. He’s 200 miles to the [...]
It was the world’s first stealth boat, a top secret experimental vessel built for the US Navy in the 1980s at a cost of $190million.
Now the Sea Shadow, which was the inspiration for the villain’s boat in the 1997 James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies, could be yours for a fraction of that price after being put up for sale on an eBay-style website.
But don’t expect to sail off on [...]
