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…Tuesday December 7 marks the 80th anniversary of the 1941 Japanese attack on the US Fleet at Pearl Harbor. The surprise attack caught a fleet in harbor just waking up to start its Sunday morning, and more than 2,400 Americans died in the raid. The slogan Remember Pearl Harbor was coined that very day and has rung down through the decades as a rallying cry to not be caught napping by a determined enemy. We’ll talk with two noted naval professionals about what that legacy means – or should mean – to today’s Navy.

In this Week’s Squawk Chris Cavas discusses the value of keeping a major fleet forward-deployed around the globe.
