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…Russia’s war in Ukraine continues to rage, with an end to the fighting nowhere in sight. But at some point the fighting will stop and -- what then? The naval and strategic significance of the Black Sea is likely to drastically change and take on an added significance in any sort of standoff between Russia, NATO and the US. We’ll talk over some of the issues and the often tortured history of this waterway from a noted expert on the region, Professor Ryan Gingeras of the Naval Postgraduate School.

In this Week’s Squawk Chris Cavas discusses the big importance of small vessels.
