The United States military has carried out another attack on a vessel in the eastern Pacific, killing two people, in the latest deadly strike by US forces on boats that Washington alleges have links to Latin American drug trafficking cartels.

"We've exposed those covert operations. We've made clear to [Russian President Vladimir Putin] and his submarines that we've watched them every step of the way," Healey said, adding that British forces deployed maritime patrol aircraft and sonar systems to maintain constant surveillance.

To be able to take a ship from new construction and watch it be built together by the ship yard, train with our team and bring into Boston Harbor for the first time, it's very amazing. I looked at the history books. I don't think we've had a submarine in Boston Harbor since sometime in the late '80s or early '90s.

"This was an operation that focused on freedom of navigation through International waters," the U.S. official said.

CMCs are a composite material, one in which the fibers are ceramic or carbon, embedded in a ceramic matrix. They are created to overcome the brittleness of traditional ceramics, while providing high-temperature resistance, light weight, and high strength. According to DSTL, they are capable of withstanding temperatures exceeding 1,000°C (1,832°F), and unlike metals, they hold their strength and shape under extreme heat and stress.

The RFI calls for a "rapidly procured and installable Counter UAS (unmanned aircraft system) capability" that is "suitable for maritime platforms to detect, track, identify, and defeat airborne threats." Project TALON will combine a mix of "effectors" both kinetic and non-kinetic to counter the threats posed by the proliferation of drones, and is intended to complement current complex missile-based systems.

A 34-year-old Iranian man and a 31-year-old Romanian woman have been arrested and charged in connection with the incident at HM Naval Base Clyde, known as Faslane.

The US military is broadly targeting Iran's naval combat capabilities, expanding strikes beyond just warships to mines, drone boats, and torpedoes, the admiral overseeing the Middle East operations said on Monday. Adm. Brad Cooper, head of US Central Command, reiterated in a video statement that eliminating Iran's naval threats is one of three military objectives of the American strike campaign.

The PLAN "is executing a significant strategic shift from diesel-electric to all-nuclear construction, representing a fundamental departure from historical construction patterns." Expanded investments at three shipyards, major construction efforts, and infrastructure upgrades have increased China's nuclear submarine production rate from less than one boat a year "to significantly higher rates."

CENTCOM's Task Force Scorpion Strike-for the first time in history-is using one-way attack drones in combat during Operation Epic Fury. These low-cost drones, modeled after Iran's Shahed drones, are now delivering American-made retribution.

A new United States congressional report openly contemplates not selling any nuclear submarines to Australia as promised under the Aukus agreement because America wants to retain control of the submarines for a potential conflict with China over Taiwan. The report by the US Congressional Research Service, Congress's policy research arm, posits an alternative military division of labour under which the submarines earmarked for sale to Australia are instead retained under US command to be sailed out of Australian bases.
