    Everyone always forgets that modern warships are mobile missile shield systems. They provide a few hundred miles of interceptor coverage. China has assets in the region and over the past week there are multiple groups staging missile or rocket attacks on everything from infrastructure to military bases in a half dozen countries.

    China undoubtedly remembers how the US dropped five JDAM guided bombs through the roof of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade.. Unlike decades ago, China has a modern navy and can position ships to prevent such US antics.

      Don’t want to find out whether the US now thinks it’s chances are better with Gaza.

    On Wednesday, the Pentagon announced the deployment of an additional command ship, the USS Mount Whitney, to the eastern Mediterranean.

    An amphibious command ship (LCC) of the United States Navy is a large, special-purpose ship, originally designed to command large amphibious invasions.

    That doesn’t bode well, does it?
