CAVASSHIPS Podcast [Dec 18, '21] Episode 28…Should you Judge a Ship By Its Appearance?

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…the general appearance of the US Navy’s ships has become – for better or worse -- a routine topic discussed by a variety of commentators, reporters and observers. It is widely agreed that the Navy does not look as squared-away as it once did. Why is this happening? What are the real-world effects of rusty-looking ships? Does it even matter that much – is what’s inside those ships more important than what the outside looks like? We’ll talk it over. And, this week the White House nominated a key Senate staffer for the Navy’s No. 2 civilian office, the Undersecretary of the Navy. We’ll take a look at the importance of that particular job. In this Week’s Squawk Chris Cavas discusses that darn paint issue. Please send us feedback by DM’ing @CavasShips or @CSSProvision or you can email [email protected] or [email protected].
