A couple of interesting historically-based @WarOnTheRocks holiday pieces:
1) @david_alman arguing that the @USNavy (&, realistically, other Western navies too), need to regain both the art & the structure to escort merchant ship convoys, a'la the #WW2 #BattleOfTheAtlantic

2) A not entirely unrelated piece in which Christopher Booth looks back the the fabled "Shetland Bus Service" of fishing boats, that SOE used to help keep the Norwegian resistance going, as an example for supplying some future operations in the Pacific warontherocks.com/2020/12/the-mo…
Interestingly, Christopher Booth also has a @NavalInstitute Proceedings piece suggesting the US should consider bringing back amphibious aircraft, also for operations on Pacific islands (which historically was more the #WW2 SOE model in the Far East) (£) usni.org/magazines/proc…
Entirely coincidentally, neatly bringing the #thread back round in a full circle to @david_alman who also published on the need for amphibious aircraft in @WarOnTheRocks back in the summer
@BoatyPlane - it seems to be a thing this year!
