CHECK BELOW FLAG FOR LINKED NEWS FLASH AND NEWS ALERT RE: RECENT U.S AND .CHINESE NAVAL MOVEMENTS. posted 10:45 CST

A picture of a sailing ship should appear above. If it does not, but other illustrations in the site do, please excuse our temporary technical glitch.  Some browsers do not pick up all of our  illustrations, we are working on that. . The best performance for graphics on our site so far appears to be with Google or Google Chrome. Most illustrations and all hyper-links work with all browsers that we are aware of but non Google browsers tend to drop certain of our illustrations. We have not found the cause yet.

NEVER VISITED US BEFORE?

Click on this link for a one and half minute video introduction to our site:

 After viewing the video let it run to the very end then simply click on the YouTube "back arrow" at the top left corner and you should arrive right back here. If you still have questions after that, look to the right of the sailing ship and click on  INTRODUCTION.

 If you come here regularly for daily maritime news, there are often interesting items in the blogs but over on the right if you click on NEWS SERVICE  you will go straight to our constantly updated piracy reports, headline service, and hyperlinks to the world's English Language on line maritime news services.

We occasionally post news and feature alerts as the cyber publishing day wears on right here on the Station ID in red. Check back often we are constantly changing.

IN CASE YOU MISSED MORNING COLORS THIS MORNING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM WAS PRESENTED BY CARRIE UNDERWOOD. THE LINK FOR THE PERFORMANCE IS BELOW THE FLAG.
