(May 2, 2019) — In the brave new zero-emissions world, oil-powered aircraft carriers and diesel-powered subs are taboo.

Will the Australian navy go nuclear or back to sails?

    Boomerangs for everyone serving in the Australian military.

    As for the rest of the world, clubs and bows and arrows have a long history of being successful weapons of war, which reminds me of 18-year-old adolescent crybaby crying for being able to buy a – (real gun made for grownups) — club and maybe even a bow and arrow(s). Trying times, indeed.

    Navies need oars: it’s a fact.

    But then what if you had an Admiral who’s from Chicago and doesn’t give a hoot about laws?

    Then you have a nuclear arsenal of attack subs, boomers, carriers and bombs. Works for me because I don’t trust anyone: TRUST BUT VERIFY.

    Your editorial make an excellent point.
