๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Israel has quietly received one of its most advanced submarines ever built. Germany has officially transferred the INS Drakon, the newest and final Dolphin-II class submarine, significantly strengthening Israel's underwater capabilities. The handover took place without a public ceremony at TKMS's shipyard in Kiel, after which the submarine sailed under the Israeli flag for the first time. The INS Drakon differs substantially from previous Dolphin-II submarines. Its length has increased from 68.6 to 73 meters, while the redesigned hull and noticeably enlarged sail have fueled speculation that the vessel incorporates entirely new operational capabilities. Defense analysts believe the expanded sail could house vertical launch systems (VLS), although neither Israel nor TKMS has confirmed their existence. If installed, such launchers could potentially accommodate ballistic or cruise missiles, unmanned systems, intelligence payloads, or equipment for special operations forces. The submarine is confirmed to carry 10 torpedo tubes in its bow, including six 533 mm tubes and four larger 650 mm tubes, which could support heavier weapons or specialized mission equipment. The arrival of the INS Drakon further enhances Israel's strategic naval deterrent and reflects the continuing evolution of one of the most advanced submarine fleets in the Middle East.

โ€ผ๏ธโ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ BIG | Beijing and Moscow are taking their "no-limits" partnership deep into the Yellow Sea, flashing serious naval muscle right on Washingtonโ€™s doorstep. The Chinese and Russian militaries have officially launched their massive "Joint Sea-2026" bilateral naval drills in the waters and airspace off the strategic port of Qingdao. Russia's Pacific Fleet deployment features high-value assets, including the guided-missile cruiser *Varyag*, the corvette *Rezkiy*, the diesel-electric submarine *Ufa*, and the specialized rescue vessel *Igor Belousov*. Mirroring this force, China's People's Liberation Army Navy has committed the advanced destroyers *Kaifeng* and *Anshan*, the frigate *Wuhu*, the comprehensive supply ship *Kekexili*, and a submarine rescue ship, all supported by shipborne helicopter units. Running until July 13, the high-stakes maneuvers will focus on aggressive joint operations, including anti-submarine warfare, coordinated air and missile defense, and joint artillery strikes, to be immediately followed by combined maritime patrols across the wider Pacific Ocean. This deployment isn't just a routine training exercise; it is a calculated geopolitical message aimed directly at the U.S. and its regional allies, coming just days ahead of the NATO summit. By conducting sophisticated multi-domain warfare drills in the highly sensitive Yellow Sea, Beijing and Moscow are signaling that their strategic alignment is actively hardening into an operational military axis capable of challenging Western maritime dominance in the Indo-Pacific.

๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ Project boats were born at the height of the Cold War. The US Navy wanted a way to conduct covert intelligence gathering on the ocean floor, & the perfect platform was the first nuclear powered guided missile submarine, USS Halibut (SSGN-587). Designed to launch Regulus cruise missiles, Halibut was left without a mission when the Polaris missile program made Regulus obsolete. In the mid-1960s, Halibut received extensive modifications at Mare Island Naval Shipyard & was repurposed. She was outfitted with saturation diving equipment pioneered by the SeaLab program, side thrusters to allow hovering, & advanced deep-towed search systems. Halibut proved the value of seabed espionage by executing missions such as locating sunken Soviet boat K-129 during Operation Sand Dollar & tapping a Soviet underwater communications cable in the Sea of Okhotsk during Operation Ivy Bells. The US Navy later followed by converting attack boats to carry specialized equipment, lockout chambers, & remotely operated vehicles to tap cables, & gather intelligence. Today, this legacy continues under Submarine Development Squadron 5 out of Bangor. Project Boats: โ˜… USS Halibut (SSN-587): The pioneer of the project boats. Converted in 1965, she laid the groundwork for deep-sea cable tapping & seabed intelligence recovery before being decommissioned in 1976. โ˜… USS Seawolf (SSN-575): The second nuclear-powered boat, she was modified to serve as a special projects boat, performing covert intelligence operations. โ˜… NR-1: The unique nuclear-powered deep submergence vehicle that was never commissioned. Much smaller than any other nuclear-powered submarine, NR-1 could drive on the ocean floor using wheels & remain submerged for extended periods to map the seabed, retrieve sensitive objects, & conduct covert research. โ˜… USS Richard B. Russell (SSN-687): The Sturgeon-class attack boat was overhauled in the early 1980s & underwent extensive ocean engineering modifications. She was fitted with a distinctive bustle to support tethered antennas & clandestine operations. โ˜… USS Parche (SSN-683): The famous Sturgeon-class boat that became the premier project boat of the late Cold War. She received major ocean engineering modifications & was later lengthened by 100 feet between 1987 & 1991 to accommodate additional โ€œresearch & developmentโ€ gear. Parche is the most highly decorated vessel in US history. โ˜… Jimmy Carter (SSN-23): The third & last Seawolf-class boat & the current successor to Parche. Unlike earlier project boats that were modified mid-career, Jimmy Carter was constructed with a 100-foot Multi-Mission Platform insert specifically designed for special operations. This unique section allows her to deploy uncrewed underwater vehicles, remotely operated vehicles, & advanced intelligence-gathering systems. But this is all just the musings of an Old Submariner because none of this ever happened... we were never there

The Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Saturday charged Heads of Agencies/Parastatals of government to renew their determination to build a Lagos that is not only the commercial hub of Nigeria but also a model of good governance and sustainable development for the entire continent. The Governor who spoke through the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr. Tokunbo Wahab at the closing ceremony of the maiden retreat for Heads of Agencies/Parastals held at Jubilee Charlet, Epe, said that working with an unwavering focus on delivering exceptional results in Lagos is most expedient. "I want to express my sincere gratitude to each of you for your tireless dedication and service to the people of Lagos; This retreat is a crucial opportunity for us to pause, assess our progress, and re-evaluate our priorities to ensure we are effectively achieving meaningful outcomes for our community" he said. He said government had consistently emphasized that good governance is a continuous process and the ultimate objective is to transform Lagos into a 21st-century economy that is inclusive, prosperous, and sustainable for all its citizens. He added that the decisions everyone make today will have lasting consequences for the future. He stressed that government is fully dedicated to leveraging technology to improve governance saying the Lagos Smart City initiative is not merely a concept, it is actively being implemented. He emphasized that the government is actively digitizing government services, implementing e-governance solutions, and ensuring that every agency embraces a modern, data-driven approach to its operations. Sanwo-Olu mentioned the LAG ID Project as an example which government is employing to build a unified identity system to make it easier for Lagosians to access government services seamlessly. He described it as the kind of forward-thinking initiative everyone need to embrace across all sectors. According to him, "As heads of agencies, you are custodians of public trust; The decisions you take, the policies you implement and the services you deliver directly impact the lives of Lagosians" "This is why we cannot afford to be complacent. We must challenge ourselves to think bigger, work smarter and serve better. The Governor who appreciated the organizers for bringing together the heads of government agencies to share insights, challenge assumptions, and enhance service. He reiterated that delivery is crucial because Lagos is a dynamic state that demands a proactive and agile approach in governance. He registered his confidence that the retreat will provide valuable insights and practical strategies adding that the ideas exchanged must be translated into concrete policies and initiatives that will lead to improved service delivery and enhanced governance. "As you return to your respective agencies, I urge you all to be courageous, proactive, and most importantly, focused on finding solutions and being mindful that the people of Lagos are relying on us, and we cannot afford to let them down" he said. The retreat had in attendance all Heads of Agencies and Government Parastatals of the Lagos State Government.

Yesterday, during a Space hosted by .SITREP, .Azi I listened to .Malcolm Nance , describing how Iran could dominate U.S. armed forces in the Gulf. As someone who greatly respects him as an expert on these matters, I still found the analysis unconvincing from my layman's perspective. I forwarded the recording (below) to two far more knowledgeable people. One responded with a strategic-level critique (with a touch of humor), while the other dove into the tactical details. I'd welcome any comments here - and especially a response from Malcolm Nance himself. 1. Clausewitz, your narrative reads like a thriller novel, not a realistic assessment of Iranโ€™s capabilities. The idea that the IRGC can seamlessly coordinate massed missile salvos, drone swarms, suicide boats, underwater vehicles, and mines simultaneously is pure fantasy. Recent events show Iran struggles even with modest synchronized operations - drones fail frequently, get intercepted easily, and ballistic missiles show inconsistent accuracy and reliability, far from the precise, perfectly timed strikes you describe. Quietly moving dozens of anti-ship missiles hundreds of kilometers for a synchronized national salvo ignores Iranโ€™s chronic C2 problems, logistical bottlenecks, and constant U.S. ISR coverage of the terrain. Strategic surprise isnโ€™t their strength. The U.S. isnโ€™t fixated on the Strait of Hormuz as you assume. American strategy focuses on keeping Iran off balance, shaping the battlespace, and hitting Tehranโ€™s weak points - often far from Hormuz. The U.S. enjoys overwhelming spectrum dominance, persistent ISR, and unmatched rapid-strike options. Your dramatic mountain-to-desert epic doesnโ€™t match operational reality. Iranโ€™s systems look impressive on paper, but large-scale, multi-domain coordination remains limited. The U.S. would dictate the tempo - not Tehran, and certainly not as youโ€™ve imagined. 2. Malcolm, your assessment is outdated and fails to reflect 2026 operational realities in the ongoing conflict with Iran. The notion that the U.S. Navy is helpless against Iranian Fast Inshore Attack Craft (FIAC) due to carrier standoff distances is obsolete. The U.S. has deployed low-altitude, persistent platforms to counter these threats: - A-10 Thunderbolt II ("Warthog"): aircraft, operating from regional airbases, are actively hunting and destroying FIACs in the Strait of Hormuz. Armed with AGM-65 Mavericks, APKWS rockets, and the GAU-8/A Avenger cannon, they excel at loitering, visually acquiring, and engaging fast boats in cluttered littoral zones. Recent operations confirm A-10s "hunting and killing" Iranian fast-attack watercraft. - AH-64 Apache helicopters engage one-way attack drones and small naval targets with precision munitions alongside A-10s and allies. CENTCOM reports over 120 Iranian vessels destroyed-including swarm boats and mine layers-with operations ongoing to secure the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's shore-based anti-ship missiles remain a threat, but the claim of firing 50 simultaneously is unrealistic. U.S. and Israeli air dominance enables strikes on storage sites and launchers at the moment of attempted launch. Iran's capabilities are minimal and eroding daily through sustained attacks. While they may score a few ship hits-as in the 1980s or 2019 - these will not constitute victory. Within weeks, Iran's naval threat will be reduced to a minor obstacle, and safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz will be fully restored. This isn't the 1980s: Carrier standoff is strategic; deep-strike assets neutralize missile threats while A-10s and Apaches dominate the littoral. FIACs can't "zoom out and vanish"- they're hunted in real time. U.S./Israeli forces execute large-scale coordinated attacks deep into Iran, with 89โ€“92% of Iranian missiles/drones failing to reach targets.

๐ŸšจUrgent Call for Volunteers in Heartbreaking Search for Missing Navan Teen Benjamin Spot As the search for 14-year-old Benjamin Spot enters its 11th day, local rescue teams are issuing an urgent plea for additional volunteers to bolster efforts along the treacherous River Boyne. The young boy from Johnstown, Navan, vanished without a trace on November 19, leaving his family, friends, and an entire community gripped by fear and determination. Benjamin, described as approximately 5 feet 1 inch tall with blonde hair and blue eyes, was last seen cycling from Navan's Market Square toward the Kentstown Road or Ramparts area around 5: 55 p.m. His bicycle was discovered abandoned at the Ramparts the following morning, sparking immediate concerns that he may have encountered the fast-flowing river nearby. Gardaรญ, increasingly worried for his safety, now suspect the teen may have fallen into the Boyne, where swollen waters from recent heavy rains have made conditions perilous for searchers. The multi-agency operation, already a beacon of community solidarity, has drawn in specialized units including the Garda Water Unit, Meath River Rescue, Boyne Fishermen's Rescue and Recovery Service, Irish Underwater Search & Rescue (IUSR), Meath Civil Defence, ICV Ireland and the Silverbridge Kayak Club who earlier today discovered the body of 28 year old Jordan Newman who had been missing for almost three weeks. While Gardai have stood down operations for Jordan, vowing to support his family through formal identification, the focus now intensifies on Benjamin. These teams have combed riverbanks, conducted surface drags, and even deployed the Garda helicopter for aerial scans stretching from Navan to Slane. Yet, with high water levels and difficult terrain hindering progress, coordinators say every extra pair of hands counts. "All support is welcome," reads notice in the online video appeal that shows snippets of the muti-agency operation in full force. The appeal, spearheaded by the Irish Community Volunteers (ICV) Ireland, calls on supporters to contact Eamon Murphy on 089 410 8171 or [email protected] to join searches focused on the Boyne from Drogheda to Navan. "We're covering counties Meath and Louth, but we need more eyes on the ground and along the water," the message emphasizes, underscoring the raw emotion driving the effort. Benjamin's mother, Renata Molnarova, has made a tearful public plea for her son's safe return. Speaking to reporters earlier she said,"Nobody is going to be in any trouble. We all love Benjamin and we just want him back," she said, her voice cracking with hope amid the heartbreak. Christopher Rennicks of Meath River Rescue, whose volunteers have been on the water daily since Jordan's vanishing, highlighted the emotional toll. "Conditions are quite difficult, but we're used to that. We carry on and hope we can bring some sort of closure to families affected," he told local media. Echoing this resolve, ICV Ireland's Eamon Murphy stressed that no prior experience is neededโ€”just a willingness to help scan banks, distribute flyers, or provide logistical support, however he urged volunteers not to go out alone and to wear suitable clothes for the weather and difficult terrain involved. He continued, "we have reached out to a number of additional search and rescue teams around the country, in particular Wexford and in Limerick as they have the only under water ROV (Remotely operated Vehicle) in the country which would be a significant help in speeding up detection and recovery". Gardaรญ continue to appeal to the public,having already interviewed many of Benjamin's friends. Anyone with any information is urged to call Navan Garda Station at 046 903 6100

The Vancouver Police Training Academy in the Woodwardโ€™s building was officially opened today at a ribbon-cutting ceremony with more than 275 guests and community members attending. โ€œThis state-of-the-art Academy represents a new chapter in the history of the VPD and, crucially, in how recruits are trained to become officers who will serve the unique and dynamic policing needs of Vancouver,โ€ said Vancouver Police Department (VPD) Chief Steve Rai. โ€œFor the first time since 1978, when the Department last had its own training program, we will be able to fully develop the next generation of police officers in Vancouver -- from the day they join our organization to when they graduate and begin their careers with the VPD.โ€ Forty โ€œClass Oneโ€ recruits began their studies at the facility in the Woodwardโ€™s building at 351 Abbott Street in the Downtown Eastside earlier this week. The students will complete their training and start work in the city on June 25, 2027. Another 40 recruits (Class Two) begin their studies January 18, 2027. โ€œThe opening of the Vancouver Police Training Academy is a significant milestone for public safety in Vancouver,โ€ said Terry Yung, Minister of State for Community Safety and Integrated Services. โ€œAs a graduate and former trustee of the Justice Institute of B.C., training recruits within the city will give them valuable exposure to the operational environment, diverse communities, and public safety challenges they will encounter throughout their careers. This academy will help prepare the next generation of officers and strengthen public safety for residents, businesses, and visitors alike.โ€ Initially announced in February 2026, the 30,000-square-foot, 3-floor Training Academy received provincial approval in March. Construction in the space formerly occupied by London Drugs began June 1. โ€œThe Academy is a foundational addition to the Woodwardโ€™s building and to the Downtown Eastside community. Greater police presence in the area is already showing a positive public safety impact with the addition of District 5 operations and will only continue to improve now the Academy is running,โ€ said Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim. โ€œVancouverโ€™s residents, business, and visitors are clear โ€“ safety is a top priority for them. This location was specifically chosen to enhance safety, stability and community in the DTES, Gastown, Chinatown and surrounding areas.โ€ The City of Vancouver provided $4 million in total for the work, which included $2.8 million for the establishment of District 5 and $1.2 million for the Academy. Additional costs are fully funded within the approved VPD budget. โ€œTodayโ€™s grand opening is indeed a milestone for VPD recruits and the Department. On behalf of the VPD, I thank the City of Vancouver, the Province, Westbank Properties, and the Vancouver Police Foundation for their support. I also want to recognize the many VPD officers and civilian staff who worked tirelessly over the last four months to build out the Recruit Development Program, including a Vancouver-centric curriculum, and to oversee the construction and all other facets of this project,โ€ said Rai. โ€œUltimately, the Academy is an investment in public safety. Recruits coming through the VPD Academy will have the exceptional skills Vancouver residents, businesses, and visitors expect from the VPD, and theyโ€™ll be ready to deploy across the city the moment they graduate.โ€ The Academy features: A virtual reality room where recruits can work through a multitude of high-pressure policing scenarios, including crisis intervention and de-escalation, mental health, and strategic communications Two large classrooms and two smaller classrooms designed for active learning with smaller cohorts to enhance the instructor-to-recruit ratio A report-writing room where recruits hone administrative capabilities A dedicated police radio channel for communications training A gym that includes a turf floor section for training Athletic therapy space A massage, physiotherapy, and first aid room Cafeteria Courses are taught by nine full-time instructors, all of whom are experienced VPD officers with first-hand experience of the policing challenges of the city. They will teach a provincially approved specialized VPD curriculum. Another nine officer instructors are in place at the Tactical Training Centre, where recruits complete use-of-force training, firearms instruction, and other critical skill-building. Driving instruction is provided by VPD trainers at Mission Raceway. All recruits at the Academy use laptops and work under major case management principles, learning VPD systems from Day One to ensure they are efficient and effective when deployed. The VPD Museum will also move into the Woodwardโ€™s building so visitors can learn more about the history of the Department.
