Meet the Helicopter-Cruiser: The Half Aircraft Carrier
*David Axe, War Is Boring* *Security, * Are these a good idea? Starting in the 1960s, the world’s leading navies experimented with a new kind of warship. Heavily-armed and sporting huge flight decks for helicopters, the vessels were hybrids—not quite cruisers, not quite aircraft carriers. Ungainly and in many cases conceptually flawed, the helicopter cruisers nevertheless represented an important leap forward for naval technology. Today’s assault ships—arguably the most useful warships afloat—owe much to the helicopter cruisers that preceded them. *'Jeanne D'Arc'* From their a... more »

When Will the Trump Administration Finally Confront the CIC?
I have advocated independent review of climate science by the Trump Administration over the last few years, most recently here.
