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…as many of you know, it’s the 250th anniversary of the US Navy. History professor B J Armstrong from the Naval Academy is here to talk about some of the highlights of the sea service’s development. Plus we’ll hear some of the comments Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Daryl Caudle gave at the recent Reagan Defense Forum in California.
