On December 17, 1917, the U.S. Navy submarine USS F-1, crashed off the coast of San Diego. Now, more than a century later, researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) have collected the first high-definition visuals of the wreckage. During a series of seven dives conducted earlier this year, researchers employed the crewed underwater vehicle Alvin and autonomous underwater vehicle Sentry, both based on the WHOI research ship Atlantis, to snap close-ups of the sunken submarine.

General Order 99 One hundred and eleven years ago on July 1, 1914, Secretary of the US Navy Josephus Daniels issued General Order 99, banning “the use or introduction for drinking purposes of alcoholic liquors on board any naval vessel, or within any navy yard or station.” The US Navy had ended the rum ration in 1862 and imposed progressively more stringent restrictions on what alcohol sailors could have on shipboard.

This is a policy proposal written by Austin Vernon and myself for improving US naval shipbuilding. It was produced for Rebuilding.tech, a techno-industrial policy playbook curated by IFP, FAI, and American Compass. USS Iowa, one of the many WWII-era ships designed in-house by the Navy. US Naval vessels today regularly take far longer to build than scheduled, and greatly exceed their already-high cost estimates. A 2018 GAO report found that more than 80% of both lead ships (the first ship built

What the hell is going on? Taking a Bath For the third time in six months, an uber-expensive military fighter jet has fallen into the sea from the same Navy warship amid continued American strikes against Yemen's Houthi rebels. As CNN reports, a $67 million F/A-18F jet was lost to the Red Sea earlier this week after its pilots failed to brake quickly enough during an attempted landing on the USS Harry Truman aircraft carrier. In a statement to the outlet, the Navy said that both aviators wer

Five people familiar with the matter told CNN that the lost plane was an F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet. Per CNN, t

In the mid-18th century, Benjamin Franklin helped elucidate the nature of lightning and endorsed the protective value of lightning rods. And yet, a hundred years later, much of the public remained unconvinced. As a result, lightning continued to strike church steeples, ship masts, and other tall structures, causing severe damage. Frustrated scientists turned to visual aids to help make their case for the lightning rod. The exploding thunder house is one example. When a small amount of gunpowder
