Good blog post by Wiggins on rising small-ship, littoral capacity development in Asia.
Like my PNM story on the Indian Fleet Review, any serious survey of global naval developments comes to the same conclusion: no one is building a Leviathan) blue-water navy and everyone (including us, in secondary sense) is building a SysAdmin-style close-in littoral capacity.
Our ability to steer and influence this trend is huge (we stay hub, they work spokes), if we pursue mil-mil training as much as we can.
