Welcome to the CavasShips Podcast with Christopher P. Cavas and Chris Servello…a weekly podcast looking at naval and maritime events and issues of the day – in the US, across the seas and around the world. This week…The Large Scale Exercise 2023, or LSE 2023 -- the largest combination live and virtual warfighting exercise ever run by the US Navy and Marine Corps -- ended on August 18. For ten days, more than 25,000 service members spread across 22 time zones worked through complex scenarios to test how the fleet can simultaneously synchronize global naval operations against multiple threats. We were on the scene in Norfolk and North Carolina to see some of the operations and talk with service members taking part. You'll directly from sailors and Marines about what they’re experienced.
