CAVASSHIPS Podcast [Oct 27, ’23] Ep: 117 Review of Latest Naval Happens

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…A littoral combat ship launches a powerful Standard SM-6 missile for the first time while another LCS shepherds the largest-ever deployment of unmanned surface vessels – all while the US Navy’s medium and large-scale unmanned surface vessel programs are stalled. The Americans and Chinese have a larger-than-usual number of ships at sea – but is it a surge or just a coincidence? And the Marinette group of shipyard in Wisconsin has built up, modernized, and is getting set to swing into full-scale frigate production. We’ll discuss some of the things we saw in our recent visit.
