• Really big story on the excessive workload that the Navy’s carrier force has been subjected to since 2003. Iraq is obviously a huge part of this.

• How do you protect the next aircraft carrier from the next COVID?
• Global Power in the North Atlantic Financial System would be a great name for a band.
• Australia is undertaking prosecution of criminal activity in the Afghanistan War.
