The Fleur De Lis (sometimes spelled Fleur De Lys) or flower of the lily is a decorative symbol widely used in European symbolism, particularly by the French, as well as by numerous other nations and organizations around the world. The United States Navy (USN) Blue Angels are the oldest military aerobatic team in the United States, formed in 1946. Currently flying the Boeing F/A-18 “Super Hornet,” their 11th airplane since their inception, they perform a maneuver named for the iconic Fleur De Lis symbol. It is one of their signature maneuvers, involving all 6 aircraft, and certainly a crowd favorite. This image captures the team just after breaking in to the maneuver at the 2022 Minden Aviation Roundup in Minden Nevada.

You have probably seen this TikTok Video already by Timothy James and how he broke down the supposed “Collision” between the China Coast Guard (CCG) Vessel and a Philippine Vessel. James is a former Surface Warfare Officer (SWO) of the United States Navy (USN), so he knows what he is talking about.

In case you haven’t seen it yet, then this is a Must Watch Video, all Filipinos should go and watch it. I also stitched a second Video of his where he talked a little bit more about the Incident.

US Navy decommissions Littoral Combat Ship after only 7 Years in Service

The United States Navy (USN) just officially decommissioned the USS Milwaukee (LCS-5) Freedom-class Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) after only seven Years in Service. It was commissioned in November 2015, just two months shy of what would’ve been its eighth Year of Service.

The Ship has had numerous Problems, including its Propulsion System which caused it to break down at Sea just less than three Weeks after being commissioned and had to be towed back to Port for 74 km for Repairs. The Freedom-class Vessels also had persistent Defects with their Combining Gears
