    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    There was a trial run of bitumen pucks to Prince Rupert, it did not seem to gain traction, but did not go away. I suspect costs at the time did not make it economical, but was seen as potentiel future workaround.

    Basically a light cruiser for armament, although I have to question the listed DWT (4500). Seems they paid heavily for that much armament in such a small hull. Audace class Guided Missile Destroyer DDG Italian Navy MMI

    Causality evacuation and care on the modern battlefield, a presentation by Ryan McBeth

    Apparently his audience was quite somber as they realized they are now priority targets and all their previous training needs to be modified or forgotten. Even if you don't agree with everything, lot's of food for thought.
