NAMAZU ADDRESSES THE ENGLISH SPEAKING WORLD

NAMAZU, giant Japanese catfish former demigod, turned maritime analyst

We have been following with a lot of interest Namazu's on going theme his "ADDRESS TO THE ENGLISH SPEAKING WORLD. This series started back on January 29, 2013 and continues. In this series Namazu is proposing that all of the English speaking nations form a "naval union" to combine and coordinate their sea power in order to respond to the multiple challenges that the English speaking seafaring nations face. He described some of the issues that are occupying naval resources around the world and parts of his descriptions complimented nicely our own continuing series titled HOW FAR WILL THE DRAGON SWIM? He described the gross combined naval strength of the English speaking nations in one post and then went on to explain that combat ready naval forces are not the sum total of sea power .In follow on posts so far he has described the naval defense / security value of Coast Guard organizations, provided an in depth look at the strengths and weaknesses of the U.S. and Canadian Coast Guards. Yesterday Namazu brought to your attention a couple of recent news items related to the combined sea power of the English Speaking Nations. Stay tuned the big catfish will speak again soon.
