AdvertisementBack to their rootsUS Marine amphibious assault vehicles approach the USS Wasp during a 2020 ship-to-shore exercise. This is transforming the US Marine Corps into "an archipelagic maneuver force designed to conduct littoral, sea-denial operations," Tangredi said. Ironically, the US Marine Corps is returning to its historical roots. This is what the US Marine Corps did for most of its history since its founding in 1775. AdvertisementAs for Chinese marines, their historical purpose was to storm Taiwan, not garrison tiny atolls on behalf of the navy.

Russia and China are investigating ways to disable US satellites, raising defense concerns. China is testing satellite grappling technology that can move objects in space without debris. AdvertisementRussia and China appear to be actively looking into ways to watch and potentially incapacitate US satellites in space, and defense analysts are concerned. AdvertisementThe potential grappler satellites China could be testing have an "unfriendly" connotation as they are capable of hijacking and moving objects like satellites in space "without generating any debris." In a February hearing, US Space Command leader Gen. Stephen Whiting described the pace of China's space expansion as "breathtaking."

☆ Scientists discovered a field of deep-sea hot springs after following a trail of crabs like breadcrumbs on the ocean floor

Scientists on an expedition near the Galápagos Islands followed a trail of crabs on the ocean floor. The crabs led them to a field of hydrothermal vents, or deep-sea hot springs. AdvertisementClusters of white crabs on the ocean floor helped lead scientists to a new discovery off the Galápagos Islands: a field of hydrothermal vents, or deep-sea hot springs, full of life. Schmidt Ocean InstituteA vent chimney discovered within a previously unknown hydrothermal vent field near the Galápagos Islands. A large cluster of riftia tube worms proved the researchers were unquestionably in a new hydrothermal vent field.

But Titan, the lost submersible from the company OceanGate, is a technological maverick based on novel concepts that differ from standard designs. “I’ve had three people ask me about making a dive on it,” he said in reference to the lost submersible. Private vessels — those used on superyachts, exploratory craft, tourists jaunts — are not formally regulated by any governmental or intergovernmental agency. Nor do they meet the rigorous standards that are applied to deep-sea craft used by the United States Navy and other government agencies. “We are proud that every submersible delivered remains in active service and certified to its original design depth,” it says on the company’s website.

☆ Coral reef discovered in Ecuador's Galapagos Islands

Quito, Ecuador Reuters —A scientific expedition has discovered a previously unknown coral reef with abundant marine life off Ecuador’s Galapagos Islands, the country’s environment ministry said on Monday. “A deepwater scientific expedition has found the first totally pristine coral reef, approximately two kilometers (1.2 miles) long, at 400 meters (deep), on the summit of a submarine mountain,” Environment Minister Jose Davalos said on Twitter. “Galapagos surprises us again.”Scientists had believed that the only Galapagos reef to survive El Nino weather in 1982 and 1983 was one called the Wellington reef, along the coast of Darwin Island, but the new discovery shows other coral has persisted, the ministry said in a statement. The South American country last year expanded the Galapagos marine reserve by 60,000 square kilometers (23,166 square miles), an extension of the 138,000 square kilometers already in place, to protect endangered migratory species between the Galapagos and the Cocos Island in Costa Rica. The Galapagos, which inspired Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, are also home to giant tortoises, albatrosses, cormorants and other species, some of which are endangered.
