Naval Year In Review At NOSI

Naval Open Source Intelligence offers up a year in review here with a couple of biting comments on top ten stories:

-The continued irrelevance of the US Navy to Fourth Generation Warfare. Nearly 4 years after the invasion of Iraq, the US Navy is finally ready to send a brown water / riverine unit to Iraq to patrol the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. What took so long and why was there no sense of urgency?<

-The successful use of lawfare, by environmental groups, to impede US Navy use of low frequency active sonar systems.
