Land Cruiser, is that you?

Posted on by Leave a comment

OK, Ok it isn’t the size of a guided missile cruiser on wheels, but Rheinmetall has marked a key advance in modern loitering munition technology by successfully demonstrating the FV-014 loitering munition/kamizakee drone launching from a container while in motion.

Developed entirely in-house, the system was launched from a modular Containerized Missile Launcher at the National Test Centre in Cochstedt in July 2026. During the test, the loitering munition demonstrated its flexibility by launching from an 18-cell VLS HX truck both while stationary and while moving, then completing simulated attack flights.

For reference, the 66-pound FV-014 can pull off recon, target tracking, precise single or swarm attack scenarios with a range of about 60 miles before delivering its 13-pound HEDP warhead with a penetration capacity of more than 24 inches of rolled armor.

In other words, it is akin to a smart TOW missile with a whole lot longer range and without the need for guidance wires.

FRCs Roaming from San Diego to Panama, to Manila

The crew of U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Douglas Denman (WPC 1149) returned to her homeport at Coast Guard Base Ketchikan on Saturday, following a 41-day patrol in the Eastern Pacific. Douglas Denman conducted 42 investigative boardings and queries in support of Operation Border Trident along the sea frontier south of San Diego.

That’s a lot of time underway on a 154-foot boat.

Speaking of which, we have an update on the former PATFORSWA flotilla of six 154s that fell back from Bahrain through the Straits of Malacca and appeared in Thailand, Singapore, and the Philippines since the war with Iran made their old base and mission in the Persian Gulf untenable.

It has been confirmed by U.S. Undersecretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby earlier this week in a speech during a forum organized by the Stratbase Group in Makati City, PI, that four of the former PATFORSWA boats, now designated the Expeditionary Cutter Squadron (ECS), will be in that Westpac archipelago on a rotational basis. I’d imagine the other two FRCs will be in yard/workup periods in Guam, co-located with the three 154s currently based there.

The USCG is falling back on its FRCs to fill in the gaps left by the stalled $20 billion frigate-sized Offshore Patrol Cutter. The 66th of 77 planned FRCs was delivered in June, bound to be the fourth 154 sent to Guam, set to join the family in a couple of months.

Meanwhile, another sister is roaming off the coast of Panama, winning hearts and minds.

EOTECH, B.E. Meyers seen in more NGSW Spaces

While the Vortex M1157 Fire Control System is the electro-optic of record for the Army’s 250,000 Next Generation Squad Weapons in rifle (M7), carbine (XM8), and LMG (M250) variants to the tune of a fantastical $2.7 billion, Big Green is also looking at other, more modular, options under what is being termed the “M7 Surrogate Fire Control Program.”

The Vortex NGSW-FC has a direct view 1-8×30 magnification and combines a laser rangefinder and ballistic computer in an overlaid display for increased first-round hit probability. Even if the high-tech add-ons take a dirt nap, the backup etched reticle should still allow the sight to work as akin to an LPVO. (Graphic: PEO Soldier)

EOTECH just picked up an award for 14,000 sets of OGL (On-Gun Laser) systems, HWS (Holographic Weapon Sights), and compatible magnifiers.

Plus, and this may or may not be folded into the contract, EOTECH just introduced a CUAS (Counter Unmanned Aircraft Sight) reticle to its existing EXPS3 and XPS3 HWS models, which you could see being deployed downrange very rapidly.

Similarly, B.E. Meyers has also been awarded a contract for 8,936 DAGIR‑V1 systems. The DAGIR is an infrared and visible aiming and illumination laser system designed for multi-platform applications.

Sure, they look more 2026 than 2036, but it seems like they may have a shorter road to realization.

Sea Control Ship, is that you?

Posted on by Leave a comment

On the road in Utah for an industry event this week, so I didn’t have the 10-20 hours needed to pull off a Warship Wednesday.

In its place, let us talk about one of Uncle Elmo’s pet projects.

Back in the 1970s, CNO Elmo Zumwalt’s “Sea Control Ship” concept that would provide a Cold War-era evolution to the escort carrier concept for convoy protection and ASW hunter-killer teams, the basic idea was to turn these small flattops (18,000-tons, 592-feet oal) like the Iwo Jima-class LPH into economical CVEs overnight through the fly-on of a Marine Harrier det for air defense/surface strike and a Navy Sea King SH-3 ASW/SAR element.

The entry for Iwo Jima-class LPH USS Guam as an interim sea control ship in the 1973-74 Jane’s

Of course, Zumwalt wanted some dedicated SCS hulls, but, barring the shipbuilding dollars, the Iwo Jimas could work in a pinch.

Fast forward to earlier this year, and we have seen perhaps the most fleshed-out example to date of Zumwalt’s SCS concept.

The America class amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli (LHA-7) just returned home to Okinawa after six months in CENTCOM.

While she deployed in less than an all-out “Lightning Carrier” configuration which would have allowed for 20 embarked F-35Bs, her MEU’s Aviation Combat Element included at least six F-35Bs of the “Green Knights” of VMFA-121.

These F-35Bs, coupled with the rotary-winged assets of Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 265 (Rein.), flew 1,600 combat hours with zero mishaps, including 300 aerial refueling evolutions, Sidewinder/AMRAAM-equipped counter-air sorties, and enforcing the naval blockade of Iran, turning back 140 ships.

KelTec Bullpup Shotguns: Holding the Maritime Line off Korea

Posted on by One comment

Florida-based KelTec announced last week that a major Pacific Rim maritime agency has once again selected the company’s tactical bullpup shotgun for use on patrol.

The South Korean Coast Guard has long used the well-reviewed (once you get used to it) KelTec KSG, with some 200 of the shotguns already in service, dating back to 2015. A new contract, signed in June, will continue that trend with the pump-action shotguns used across its patrol vessels.

The South Korean Coast Guard traces its lineage to 1953 during the Korean War and has some 10,000 personnel. Like the USCG, its Korean counterpart conducts law enforcement missions, polices the country’s maritime borders, and enforces fisheries regulations, among other tasks.

It has several large frigate-sized white-hulled cutters, including the 6,500-ton KCG Sam Bong and KCG Lee Cheong Ho, as well as numerous smaller patrol boats.

The KSGs are officially for non-lethal use, akin to how the Remington 870P is used for firing LA51 flash-bang warning devices in the USCG, but, you know, some slugs and buck are on the shelf just in case.

Per KelTec:

The KSG Tactical serves in a less-lethal role, firing rubber and impact rounds during maritime interdiction operations, including efforts to deter illegal fishing activity in Korean waters.

The South Korean Coast Guard also has several special response units such as the SSAT (Sea Special Attack Team), and the KSG-12 has been seen with them as well as in the hands of the Black Berets of the South Korean Army’s 707th Special Missions Group, used as a breaching gun with the latter.

The KelTec KSG was officially unveiled at the SHOT Show in 2011 and has undergone several generational changes while the line has simultaneously expanded.

Deckies Recalling the old DEMs Gunners

The British Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) is roughly akin to the U.S. Military Sealift Command (MSC) in that they man naval auxiliaries with civilian mariners on contract.

While the MSC’s CIVMARs kinda “go native,” the RFA wears a very RN-like blueberry coverall complete with badges and patches, and they run their own ship’s defense. All RFA ships have a small arms locker, and many also have larger mounts as well.

Take these recent shots of the MNTS Gunnery Teams on RFA Mounts Bay (L3008) conducting quals on mounted FN MAG GPMGs into account.

The ship carries six GPMGs and has the weight and space to carry two CIWS, two 30mm guns, and two M2 50 cals as well.

The RFA’s “trigger pullers” are civilian Able Seamen (Deck), or “Deckies,” who are trained in the use of arms during their 12-month military-style apprenticeships, which include 11 weeks of classroom work ashore at HMS Raleigh in Torpoint.

While the RFA was only established in 1905, British merchantmen carried arms for self-defense going back centuries. During both world wars, the country had full-fledged initiatives to “stiffen up” merchies with the Defensively Armed Merchant Ships (DAMS) program in WWI and the Defensively Equipped Merchant Ship (DEMS) organization run by the Admiralty Trade Division.

DEMS (DEFENSIVELY EQUIPPED MERCHANT SHIPS AND SERVICE), GUNNERS TRAINING. LIVERPOOL, 14-16 OCTOBER 1942 A DEMS seaman-gunner arrives to join his first ship.IWM (A 12370)

The Lewis Gun Mark III DEMS was a specialized World War II British adaptation of the Lewis light machine gun. Allocated to Defensively Equipped Merchant Ships (DEMS), it featured a .303 caliber setup, a crude skeleton stock, a wooden fore-stock, and an added pistol grip to allow free-standing shoulder firing from ship decks

The latter grew quite large, with over 3,400 merchant ships flying the “Red Duster” also festooned with not only small arms but deck guns up to 6 inches of bore, with “the regulars” shipping aboard to control the bigger guns.

DEMS guns were manned by 24,000 Royal Navy personnel and Royal Marines and 14,000 men of the Royal Artillery Maritime Regiment. 150,000 merchant sailors were trained to assist by passing ammunition, loading and replacing casualties. Initially, Royal Artillery personnel provided anti-aircraft protection by bringing their own machine-guns aboard ships operating close to the British Isles.

DEMS gunners were often retired military personnel and young Hostilities Only ratings, commanded by a petty officer or Royal Marine sergeant. Large ships sometimes embarked a junior naval officer to command the DEMS gunners.

How about these great RAF images from Ford Island at Pearl during last month’s RIMPAC?

Clockwise from bottom, U.S. Navy Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71), Peruvian Navy tank landing ship BAP Pisco (AMP 156) and Royal New Zealand Navy Polar-class auxiliary ship HMNZS Aotearoa (A11) dock at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, during Exercise Rim of the Pacific 2026, July 3, 2026. (RAF)

The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) stands proud in the above image. Other vessels identified alongside include the 11,000-ton Peruvian Navy Makassar-class landing ship BAP Pisco (AMP-156) and the 26,000-ton Polar-class New Zealand Navy tanker HMNZS Aotearoa (A11). The USS Essex (LHD 2), a 40,000-ton Wasp-class amphibious Swiss army knife, is in the top right.

The San Diego-based TR for nearly a decade had an “All-Hornets-All-The-Time” air group, CVW-11,  including four strike squadrons with F-18Es (VFA-154, VFA-211, VFA-34, and VFA-25), as well as the EA-18G Growlers of VAQ-115, fleshed out by MH-60S/Rs of HSC-8 and HSM-75, and a Hawkeye det of VAW-115. Last year this was changed as VFA-34 was replaced by F-35C Lightnings from the “Sidewinders” of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 86. You can spot at least 35 Rhinos on TR’s deck along with 10 F-35Cs, four Hawkeyes, and six MH-60s.

Of interest, the Peruvian Navy assumed command of the Combined Amphibious Task Force 176.1, a first in the 55 years of the exercise, based on Pisco, under Peruvian VADM Gian Marco Chiapperini Faverio.

Prest-O Change-O: 19 New SSGNs!

Posted on by Leave a comment

Much in the same way that the SECNAV in 1975 created 15 new “cruisers” from thin air by reclassifying DLGs to CGs to gain a two-cruiser lead over the Russkis, the Navy has just dubbed 19 planned Blocks V and VI Virginia class SSNs as SSGNs to fill the gap left by the four retiring TLAM-commando boats.

The first of four Ohio-class SSGN conversions, USS Georgia is pending decommissioning after 42 years of service, with her sisters Ohio, Michigan and Florida soon to follow. Each was given a $1 billion conversion between 2002 and 2008 to carry up to four platoons of SEALs (64 operators and two support ratings) and two Dry Dock Shelters topside in addition to 154 VLS Tomahawks and a dozen torpedoes for their four tubes. Basic math gives you 616 TLAM tubes leaving the fleet in a very short period. Add to that the fact that the 22 122-cell Ticonderoga-class CGs are being replaced by 96-cell Burke DDGs by 2028, and you see how fast this is going south.

The Navy’s 19 planned Block V/VI Virginias will be able to carry 40 Tomahawks in a series of two six-cell Virginia Payload Tubes forward and four 7-cell Virginia Payload Modules amidships in addition to their 25~ torpedo tube launched weapons, theoretically backfilling 760 VLS TLAM slots back to the tally sheet starting with the planned USS Oklahoma (SSN now SSGN-802), covering (by 2038!) the cells lost on the retired Ohios and four-ish Ticos.

The thing is, the four Ohio SSGN conversions were to backfill the massive loss of 128 TLAM cells when the battleships were laid up and 1,528 TLAM cells when the Spruance-class destroyers were retired early.

Plus, the capability to land more than a 16-man SEAL platoon (and even that is a stretch) via submarine will be all but gone when the Ohio-class SSGNs are retired, as the Virginias only have a nine-man lockout and very limited “spare” berthing (still using hot racking and torpedo cots to accomidate around 135 crew members using roughly 94–95 bunks), compared to the dual lockouts on the leaving SSGNs and their room for as many as 66 embarked riders when serving as a frogman bus.

Keep in mind that the Navy just has six portable Dry Dock Shelters needed for SEAL mini-sub operations. This wasn’t that big of a deal with just four SSGNs currently, but moving forward, it just seems like a skill set and capability is on the bubble– no pun intended.

Also, it is clear the Block V/VI Virginias need to be their own class at this point. While all 18 Ohios, SSBN and SSGN, shared the same hull, propulsion, and dimensions, this new Oklahoma-class SSGN will be significantly larger (10,200 tons, 460 feet oal) than Virginia herself (7,900 tons, 377 feet in length), going beyond the anticipated strike mission creep that comes with being a TLAM slinger.

“Reclassifying Virginia Payload Module-equipped submarines as SSGNs accurately reflects the extraordinary strike capacity, operational flexibility, and global reach these platforms bring to the Fleet,” said the Chief of Naval Operations, Adm. Daryl Caudle.

CARAT (Sri Lanka) 2026 just wrapped up in Trincomalee, following a series of exercises and exchanges between the Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) and the U.S. Navy. The 32nd iteration of the exercise saw the SLN work alongside deployed VP-26 P-8A Poseidons from CTF 72, staff from Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 7, CTF-73, CTF-76, Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific, and a U.S. Coast Guard Maritime Engagement Team.

Of note to our audience will be a few steaming formation shots of SLNS Samudura (P261)/ex-USCGC Courageous, which has been in service with the force since 2005, and SLNS Vijayabahu (P627)/ex-USCGC Munro. which was transferred in 2021.

Samudura/Courageous is an ASBC-built 210-foot Reliance-class cutter commissioned in 1968, while Vijayabahu/Munro is a 378-foot Avondale-built Hamilton-class cutter that entered service in 1971.

Note that the former 210 now carries fore-and-aft 40mm Bofors L70s, flanked forward by two Chinese Type 58 (ZPU-2) 14.5mm AAGs, while the 378 still has her MK 75 76mm OTO installed during her 1990s-era SLEP (and it works!), along with some Chinese Type 61 25mm AAGs.

Plus you have to appreciate the seafoam green/blue paint scheme the SLN uses. It is very effective.

Also note the Bell 212/412 delivering ship riders.

Aside from the above, the SLN also operates a second 378, SLNS Gajabahu (P626)/ex-USCGC Sherman, and the recently delivered SLNS Samudravijaya (SLS P 628)/ex-USCGC Decisive (WMEC 629).

Nice to see the old girls still clocking in.

At least they will never have to worry about icing up ever again.

13 for Freedom?

Posted on by Leave a comment

So we have often touched on the whole “41 for Freedom” Polaris FBM SSBNs that were cranked out during the Duck and Cover era to help win the Cold War in an amazing nine years and four months from the first keel ordered on Dec. 31, 1957, to the 41st commissioned in April 1967.

It was impressive, for sure, especially when you consider that Polaris wasn’t even on the drawing board until 1956 and Nautilus had only been commissioned in 1954!

The secret to pulling off something like that is threefold: A) the political will to stay the course, no matter what the cost, B) available shipyards and skilled tradesmen, C) block buys.

Well, we may not have the first two today, but it looks like the Navy just did a huge block buy for not only nine Virginia-class attack submarines SSN 814-822 (Block VI) along with a set of material for a 10th, but also five Columbia-class fleet ballistic missile submarines SSBN 828-832 (Build II).

Now EB, HHI, and NNS just need the space and talent (they are farming out some work, which could be good provided the standards are met and maintained) to pull it off, and we are “cooking with gas,” as they say.

The video announcements.

The contract announcement, because, wow.
