What if they gave a war in WESTPAC and we couldn't come?It is easy to talk tactics, weapons, and warship numbers - but on balance, that is not what ensures victory in any major war.
For a maritime nation, nothing can last very long without a large, sustained, scalable, and resilient merchant marine.
When you look at our numbers, we are not ready.
Our guest for the full hour Sunday from 5-6pm Eastern will be John Konrad, using his recent editorial at gCaptain, Admiral, I'm not Ready for War, as a starting point for our talk.
Captain John Konrad is the founder and CEO of gCaptain and author of the book Fire On The Horizon. John is a USCG licensed Master of Unlimited Tonnage, has sailed a variety of ships from ports around the world and is a distinguished alumnus of SUNY Maritime College.
