Topping the naval news this week was the strange confrontation between a British destroyer and Russian air and border patrol forces near Crimea in the Black Sea. One side claims shots were fired and even bombs dropped. The other says no such thing happened. We’ll discuss.

And -- different nations have different approaches for portraying their militaries and navies. We’ll talk about some of the differences between US, Chinese and Russian public relations efforts. CavasShips is a Defense & Aerospace Production.

This week...US Navy leaders in Washington begin to defend the fiscal 2022 budget on Capitol Hill as the annual round of Senate and House hearings begin. So far – the people in the big chairs are not at all happy with what they’re hearing. And the Navy’s 30-year shipbuilding plan was finally sent to Congress -- without a 30-year plan. We’ll discuss.

And there’s talk of creating some sort of international naval task force to patrol the South China Sea. But is that really needed – or even a good idea? We’ll talk about it. But first a look at naval developments around the world.

At long last the White House has named its nominee to be the next Secretary of the Navy - we’ll talk about who is Carlos Del Toro and the challenges he faces. The eagerly-anticipated Navy 30-year shipbuilding plan seems to be delayed - again. And what are the implications of a leaked budget memo telling Navy leaders they have to choose between a new submarine, new destroyer or a new strike fighter - but they can only have one.
