HOW FAR WILL THE DRAGON SWIM: BACK INTO JAPANESE TERRITORIAL WATERS AGAIN TODAY!

TOKYO — Four Chinese government ships temporarily sailed into the territorial waters of disputed Tokyo-controlled islands in the East China Sea on Sunday, Japan's coastguard said.
 
The maritime surveillance vessels entered the 12-nautical-mile zone around Uotsurijima, the main islet in the disputed chain called the Senkaku Islands in Japan and the Diaoyu Islands in China at about noon (0300 GMT).
 
The four ships left the zone at about 3:00 pm (0600 GMT) and remained within 24-nautical-mile "contiguous" waters off Uotsurijima at 3:30 pm ( 0630 GMT), a coastguard official said.

This is "Ego Alley" in Annapolis viewed from the vicinity of the FLEET RESERVE  club house deck. Frankenstorm
probably put some of the canal water into the club, a naval sacrilege worse than spilling beer.We apparently were the only nationally available news service to cover this event. This once again demonstrates that when it comes to things maritime the American national news media are clueless.

The National Anthem today is presented with all of the words as written by Francis Scott Key. We have previously presented the mostly forgotten final stanza, but there is more. Click on the link below for the Star Spangled Banner as you have never heard it before. Everything else has been a pale shadow of the original. All words appear in print as well. We are going to run this version for a while and then repeat it often. America, you need to hear this!
