*** www.nedsjotw.com is in the process of migrating from the Blog Harbor platform where it has been for the last several years since the JOTW site first went online to a WordPress platform. When you go to the site it will look different. It does for me. So I’ll be learning how to use WordPress over the next few weeks as Woody Goulart coaches me.

The companion sites of www.yourdefcon1.com and www.yourverynextstep.com are also undergoing a metamorphic transformation.

*** Surface Warships 2012

Exploring the Future of Global Surface Combatant Fleets In a highly uncertain strategic environment, the ability to use the majority of the world’s surface, and reach most of its population makes maritime forces those of choice for the world’s main actors and their allies – and surface warships are key components of such forces. Their need to police the oceans against the dual threats of terrorism and piracy make surface warship programmes a crucial and indispensable part of the future maritime environment.

Surface Warships will provide the ideal environment for industry and naval professional to discuss innovative future designs and the need to keep current vessels battle ready through capability upgrades and refits.
