I mean, it's absolutely ridiculous re-using names! Texan, Thunderbolt, Tornado, Typhoon, Nimrod, Whirlwind, Fury, Phantom, Hawk ....

Some people are quite happy being NCOs. These are the pros who run the Navy & all other services. They couldn't do without them.

To be fair...16 years does seem a little long before reaching senior NCO status.

True...he may have visited the Captain's cabin on "other than social" occasions.

Maybe shore leave agrees with him, but not the Navy. Shocked

BTW, the Navy is slated to get the JSF, a stealth fighter. Not sure of the date it's supposed to enter service.

Russia is going to get so poor... HAHAHA Grin

I guess that's why 12 Borey-class SSN's have been ordered, along with 4 Akula-class SSBN's and a design for a CVN was also requested, and if it matches the needs of the Rusian Navy 4 will be built, yeah you really made me understand why this is all hapening Wink

Also Su-47, and MiG 1.42 projects have been re-lived so their entrance into service with RuAF is to happen in the next few years...

The Borey class SSBN's are an outgrowth of the obsolete Delta-IV SSBN's...obviously much greater sophistication than the older brothers, but still based on the old Delta-IV.

The SSBN Akula (NATO reporting name Typhoon) should not be confused with the new order for 4 end-of-class SSN Akula-II's. The Akula-II will be superceded by a new SSN class, of which the Russian Navy hopes to aquire 22...should they manage a 4-fold increase in the Naval budget.

Hard to keep secrets from the Western Powers when they are right there in the dockyards helping to scrap old Victor II's and III's. Wink

He's prolly still an NCO because the best thing he's ever done (by his own admission) was have a speaking role as a pretend sailor. Wink

i assure you 1, it would not be on a carrier for testing yet. 2, no way you could get a picture of it (if it is still secret from the public)
