It's Episode 40, not that far from the big Five-Two, so what topic should we do? This time the regular crew are by David Larter (@DavidLarter of Defence News) to discuss the US Navy and the impact seemingly short term decisions can have... on current presence missions as well as future command.

#Bilgepumps is still a newish series and new avenue, which may no longer boast the new car smell, in fact decidedly more of pineapple/irn bru smell with a hint of mint cake and the faintest whiff of fried chicken – but we're getting the impression it's liked, so we’d very much like any comments, topic suggestions or ideas for artwork to be tweeted to us, the #Bilgepump crew (with #Bilgepumps), at Alex (@AC_NavalHistory), Drach (@Drachinifel), and Jamie (@Armouredcarrier). Or you can comment on our Youtube channels (listed down below).
