The U.S. Navy announced that certain commands are no longer authorized to provide photos and biographies of leadership on public-facing websites.The decision was made to enhance security for sailors and their families, the service said.“Adversaries increasingly aggregate publicly available data to track, profile, and target our personnel,” a Navy administrative message read. “By creating an unnecessary spotlight and surge of online interest, routine command triad biographies inadvertently expose our people to elevated risk.”Commands led by vice admirals and officers with a lower rank, including civilian equivalents, are now prohibited from uploading the personal information on public websites.The official leadership biographies…

Bryson DeChambeau went into the Royal Birkdale clubhouse in a tie for second place at the Open Championship, hardly in a position to complain.However, rules officials then approached him about a potential transgression earlier on the fifth hole, and the two-time U.S. Open winner was not having it.DeChambeau was with several officials and his caddie, having an animated conversation in the rough on the fifth hole, right near the area where DeChambeau took his second shot.

The U.S. Navy’s expensive effort to install hypersonic missiles on three Zumwalt-class destroyers is two years behind schedule, according to government auditors. In addition to problems stemming from both the destroyers and the missiles, the Navy and Army are reportedly not coordinating work on the joint Conventional Prompt Strike missile program. Missile flight testing scheduled for 2025 has been pushed back to 2027. “Despite recent successes testing the CPS missile, the Navy faces several programmatic challenges associated with developing, delivering, and deploying the CPS missile on the DDG-1000,” warned the Government Accountability Office report. “These challenges include rising costs, schedule…

We’ve got another outdoors fixed blade from Civivi to look at today, the Carveth. The name hints at the role of this one, with a marked bent towards the needs of hunters here. Few things say “hunting knife” more than a handsome, classically proportioned drop point, such as we have here on the Carveth. At 3.59 inches long, the edge is big enough for the (let’s be honest) gnarlier chores such a role demands: things like field dressing and general carving.

Tehran had already threatened that further escalation would have consequences for the entire region when the US launched these attacks. “If the enemy, in the course of its war of attrition, seeks to strike Iran’s infrastructure or carry out further assassinations of officials, the entire region will pay the price,” a senior intelligence official in Tehran told RT on Thursday, as the US launched its latest strikes.
