☆ USS White River: How the US Navy transformed a landing vessel into a legendary rocket artillery ship
  + stars: | 2024-09-14 | by ( Benjamin Brimelow | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +14 min
Rather than building an entirely new vessel, it was decided to modify medium-sized landing ships (classified as LSMs for 'Landing Ship Medium'). Officially renamed USS White River in 1955, the ship was decommissioned again in 1956. A day after that, White River fired on a nearby VC anti-aircraft site, destroying it and killing or wounding 11 guerillas. Winstead/National ArchivesFuture shore bombardment and LSMsDespite its value and firepower, by 1970, White River was showing its age. Now known as the Medium Landing Ship program, the Navy hopes to acquire 18 to 35 of the vessels.

☆ Seen by the US military as a threat for years, Russia's Yasen-class submarines are now on track to get hypersonic missiles
  + stars: | 2023-08-14 | by ( Ryan Pickrell | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
Russia's Yasen-class submarines have long been seen as a tough challenge for the US Navy. A Russian shipbuilding official said that work is underway to arm them with Zircon hypersonic missiles. Russia's Yasen-class nuclear-powered cruise-missile submarines are quiet, difficult to track, heavily armed, and able to conduct attacks against land- and sea-based targets. The Russian Yasen-class submarines "are designed to deploy undetected within cruise-missile range of our coastlines to threaten critical infrastructure during an escalating crisis," the commander said a year later in congressional testimony. It may still be some time before Russia's Yasen-class submarines deploy with hypersonic weapons, but the Admiral Gorshkov set sail earlier this year on a deployment that took it into the Atlantic Ocean armed with Zircon hypersonic missiles.

☆ US Navy stealth destroyer Zumwalt's deck guns are basically useless, but it's on its way to get new hypersonic missile launchers
  + stars: | 2023-08-04 | by ( Ryan Pickrell | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Destroyer USS Zumwalt has long had problems with its main deck guns, which don't have any ammunition. The Zumwalt is changing homeports to receive upgrades including a new hypersonic missile system. US Navy guided-missile destroyer USS Zumwalt arrives in Yokosuka for a port visit, September 26, 2022. Unlike China and Russia, the US does not currently have any hypersonic weapons systems deployed. True hypersonic weapons pose a new and potentially unstoppable threat due to their ability to maneuver unpredictably at these speeds.

☆ War with China would be an 'onslaught' like the US hasn't faced in decades
  + stars: | 2023-07-27 | by ( Jake Epstein | Jacob Zinkula | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +15 min
War would also have severe consequences for China and US allies in the Western Pacific. Any war with China would be fought on multiple fronts — from the air and sea to the web and financial markets. The US maintained this capacity for decades, but America's manufacturing prowess has atrophied since the end of the Cold War. Control of the Pacific would be a crucial part of any war with China, and Beijing boasts the world's largest navy. Cash warsWhile a military conflict between the US and China is only a hypothetical, the two countries are already competing on the economic battlefield.

☆ A $4.4 billion US destroyer was touted as one of the most advanced ships in the world. Take a look at the USS Zumwalt, which has since been called a 'failed ship concept.'

The ship is a guided-missile destroyer, which means its main purpose is to provide antiaircraft support to the US Navy's fleet. The Navy has two other Zumwalt-class destroyers: the USS Michael Monsoor and the USS Lyndon B. Johnson.
