Submarine & Other Matters

I publish analysis about subs, other naval matters, nuclear weapons and broad political issues. Unlike most advanced countries Australian submarine changes are very slow. The first Collins LOTE may be limited to optronic masts (?) and only ready in 2030 (?). Triumphant Trump may decide to cancel Biden's "Democrat" AUKUS Virginia offer because the US Navy needs all operational SSNs right through to the 2040s. My colleagues Shawn C and Gessler are excellent writers. Pete

At the US Open tennis today Australia's John Millman (52nd in the world) triumphed over Roger Federer (2nd in the world and often 1st).

This is a huge upset with Millman winning 3-6, 7-6, 7-5, 7-6.

Millman now advances to his first ever grand slam quarterfinal - against world number 6 Novak Djokovic. Good luck John!

A brief tune to celebrate - from a delighted Ludwig van - especially good 2 minutes in:

And also footage of Millman after the win, taking applause from crowd.
