#OTD in 1942, USS New Orleans was hit by a torpedo and lost her entire bow during the Battle of Tassafaronga. The crew made quick repairs with coconut logs and then sailed the cruiser in reverse for 1,800 miles to reach Sydney, Australia.

America is a maritime nation. Adm. Daryl Caudle, commander of U.S. Fleet Forces Command, met with students and leaders today at @MaritimeCollege, which educates leaders for the global marine transportation industry, the armed forces and public service.
📢China-Vanuatu military links: China is engaging in a new military show of force in the South Pacific, sending PLAN destroyer and cruiser to Port Vila. Type 055 Renhai-class guided-missile cruisers are long-range surface combatants designed to escort PLAN aircraft carriers
We recently found this fantastic aeronautical chart in the US Archives covering the Solomon Islands to New Hebrides. The chart is from 1943 and based on British and German surveys from 1933.
The U.S. must not slow roll the implementation of COFA. Our partnerships with Pacific Island nations are critical to the U.S. staying ahead of CCP expansion in this highly strategic region. voanews.com/a/six-months-o…
"There is no economic security without maritime security" Should be axiomatic - but still seems to come as a surprise to many
There is no economic security without maritime security. Meetings like this are valuable opportunities to discuss how we can continue to work together to respond to maritime challenges in the Pacific region.

Something often missed, given the historical focus on WWII, is that Japan had a very sizeable mandate in the northern Pacific in the 1920s and 30s, as a result of being a victor on the Allies side in WWI. This incorporated most of the Marianas, Marshall Islands and Micronesia.

June 27th 1982: MV Astronomer arrives in the Falklands. She has been converted into a helicopter carrier and now brings 13 helicopters including Chinook and Wessex, plus spares and stores, to the islands. A fast ship, she has made the journey from the UK in just 20 days.
A marvellous sight in Cairns, little and seven times larger! For the first time, HMS TAMAR and HMAS LEEUWIN rafted up with USS EMORY S LAND. Both ships successfully utilised the US Navy submarine tender as a floating jetty and plugged in to her fuel, water and power supply.🇦🇺🇬🇧🇺🇸
