Lets list in my opinion the worst decisions taken or nearly taken by largest navies around the world. #εpsilon 
The #USNavy #Zumwaltclass destroyers were supposed to have #AGS capable of firing ultra long range 155mm shells, have no shells as they were canceled. Now, to re-add the X-factor the #USN is replacing AGS guns with VLS for upto 12 hypersonic missiles. Costing a lot of $$$$$$$$$s
#USNavy #USAF #avgeeks #aviationlovers - NATF-22? Yes, there could have been a navalized F-22 stealth a la F-14 Tomcat with swing wings, Mach 2.25 supercruise, heavier landing gear, and so much more. So why did the US Navy opt for the F-18 and F-35 instead? I'll tell you... 1/
2/ Congress wanted the NATF-22 but the US Navy pushed back. The swing wings would have compromised stealth and added to the maintenance woes. As it was, the F-14 was already far too expensive especially in the absence of the #USSR's military, which is why the F-14 was retired.
3/ The naval F-22, aka Sea Raptor, would have been slower than the F-14 and cost more. The F-22's unit cost was, ballpark, $138 million. A navalized one surely would have cost at least 20% more based on F-14 vs F-15 costs. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_…
#Hurricane #USNavy #OTD: December 18, 1944, Admiral Halsey catastrophically orders the US Navy’s vaunted TF38 into #TyphoonCobra. TF38 has seven fleet carriers, eight battleships, ~60 light carriers, cruisers, and destroyers. In all, USA loses three... 1/
2/ destroyers on Dec. 18 killing 790 sailors. USS Iowa @ussiowa, CL Miami, etc., damaged. Light carriers Langley and Cowpens (above tweet) roll through 70 degrees, sending airplanes overboard or into each other, starting big fires. 146 aircraft lost!!!
3/ In contrast, USA lost 123 aircraft in June 1944 Battle of the Philippine Sea. Destroyers Hull↖️, Monaghan ↗️ and Spence ↙️ sink. Maddox ↘️ and others are pounded but survive. 30 US Navy warships sunk or damaged total! #disasters #WW2 #Pacific #Weather

In Part I of the stablecoin long read thread I outlined the conditions that led to the $UST disaster. BUT (!) decentralized stablecoins are a beautiful concept that definitely has a future.
1/ So, the topic for Part II is $USN – @NEARProtocol's native stablecoin.

2/ If you missed the first part, then it is better to start researching the topic with it.
There I described the main prerequisites that led to the collapse of the #UST and options for how this could have been avoided.

3/ #USN by @DcntrlBank is a fully collateralized decentralized stablecoin backed by $NEAR and $USDT with more assets to be added soon. The peg is maintained by on-chain arbitrage and rebalancing of the treasury to ensure stability in any market conditions.
0/It's time for us to bring this topic up for discussion.
This thread will help you understand the difference between USN/NEAR and UST/LUNA
Both are algorithmic stablecoin, but what differentiate USN/NEAR, for them to prevent the same tragic crash that happened to UST and LUNA

TLDR 😅
4 Main reasons why $USN is different from $UST
1/ Smart working mechanism of $USN
2/ $USN owns a more sustainable mechanism than $UST
3/ $USN is just getting started, hasn't fallen into the FOMO phase yet
4/ The stability of the @NEARProtocol ecosystem

to understand @DcntrlBank‘s price stabilization mechanism, asset collateral strategy and its management approach for $USN

1/ Time to dispel the myths around #Terra / #Luna / #UST once & for all!
Is it decentralized? Is UST a stablecoin? Is it #SAFU?
What are the alternatives???
Are you with me?

➡️ Autre vue d'artiste du #PA / #CV CATOBAR (Type 003) en construction au chantier Jiangnan Shipyard Group (Shanghai) et sa comparaison avec CVN-78 USS « Gerald R. Ford » (2017) : illustre les différences architecturales mais trompe sur les proportions.

➡️ Les photographies du chantier du #Type003 et les rumeurs laissent entrevoir quelques caractéristiques : ce porte-avions #CATOBAR aura une longueur hors-tout de 320 mètres - 300 m à la ligne de flottaison - pour un maître-bau de 78 mètres au niveau du pont d'envol et
40 m à la ligne de flottaison. Le déplacement lège ne serait pas connu - à l'instar du Type 002 - mais il est allégué que le déplacement à pleine charge atteindrait entre 85 000 et 98 000 tonnes : soit le déplacement à pleine charge (85 000 t) et celui en surcharge (98 000 t) ?
1/ The #NEAR Protocol stablecoin is out: #USN
1 USN is always backed at 100% by NEAR + stables in the Reserve Fund.
You can mint 1 USN against $1 of NEAR & earn at least 10% APY (Reserve Fund yield).
How does it work and is it superior to #Luna/#UST?
YES.
Why? A thread 👇

2/ What is $USN?
A fully collateralized, algorithmic NEAR-native stablecoin pegged to the US dollar.
It uses on-chain smart contract for NEAR/USN arbitrage like UST and StableSwap pool with other stablecoins (swap USDT for USN).
How does it match against other stables? 👇

This is sickening. Waiting for #trump supporters who claim to support #USMilitary to explain how they can continue to support a man who hates our #troops. @JoeBiden’s son #Beau served in #Iraq. @DrBiden has supported #militaryfamilies for years. #USMC #USN #USAF #BidenHarris2020
#Trump referred to former President #GeorgeHWBush as a “loser” for being shot down by the Japanese as a Navy pilot in #WorldWarII. #Bush flew 58 combat missions in the Pacific. He enlisted at 18. Trump enlisted never. history.com/news/george-hw… #SupportOurTroops #VoteBidenHarris
When #JohnMcCain died in 2018, #Trump became furious when he saw flags lowered to half-staff. “What the fuck are we doing that for? Guy was a fucking loser.” McCain was taken prisoner after flying his 23rd bombing mission over N.Vietnam. #Trump has flown a mission never.
Seen a lot of people commenting on the F6F thing on Fbook - that's probably just a typo, so no worries, happens to the best!

Pilot Harold Mathew O'Leary was indeed rescued from the water & stayed in the Navy after the war. He had enlisted in 1939, was Aviation Pilot 1st Class by 1942, & went on to become LCDR. He died in an air crash in 1955, on approach to Hickham AFB. He was 34.
May he Rest in Peace.
May he Rest in Peace.
With its 66 victims, the crash remains to this day the deadliest plane catastrophe in the history of both Hawaii & US Naval Aviation. More details about this sad event can be found here 🙏🇺🇸
