CAVASSHIPS Podcast [Aug 21, ’26] Ep: 255 Bryan McGrath & Ward Carroll on Stretching and Over Stretched Navy

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…Will the Iran war weaken an already over stretched Navy or will it be the catalyst for change and refocus? What will the impact of proposed carrier changes be on the future CVN-81, a costly wild goose chase, a soft kill to the future of aircraft carriers or a long overdue righting of wrong technology? Retired naval officers and noted commentators Bryan McGrath and Ward Carroll join us to discuss the state of the Navy and recent war and carrier program headlines.   Please send us feedback by DM’ing @CavasShips or @CSSProvision on X, DM us @cavashipspod on Instagram or you can email [email protected] or [email protected].
