navy is always getting new ships. we have the combat ship with the new propulsion system that authorities hopes become standard. phil, welcome to the show. let's start with the combat ii. the uss independence. >> it has three hulls as opposed to one. it is made out of steel. it rides differently from the other navy ships. navy is putting through the paces in the gulf coast right now. service hasn't taken delivery yet. the navy hopes to commission it this fall in the gulf coast. >> the plan is to keep both of the designs. to keep the lockheed design which is the hull and the gd? >> yes. that is correct. it is an open question depending on who you ask over how many the navy will buy. the navy has one class of lcs within that class for different crews and designs. >> that will be interesting to see given there was no imposed standardization with the ships. let's go to macon island. thatiss the large amphibious helicopter. >> outside, it looks the same, but on the inside, it has electric motors to turn the props. >> steam

so an ex-navy s.e.a.l. and pro-football player that was a multimillionaire made quite an impression on the other regular lars. >> just a really cool guy. like the life of a party type guy. and then find out how much money he's got, you know, down here with different cars every day, you know, stuff like that. >> fancy cars and big trucks and hot motorcycles. mike grogan had them all. but he didn't just spend money on himself. grogan took the new friends golfing at pricey clubs, always paying for lunch, dinner, everything, in cash. soon, his landlord and friend also found out just how wealthy mike grogan was. >> something like $23 million worth of microsoft stock. >> 23 million? >> right. >> but grogan was modest, too. when a woman started dating him, soon after he hired her to work at the restaurant, she says she heard about the wealth and fame from other people. instead, she says, he liked to talk about her. did he listen if you had a problem? >> yeah, totally. he was very exciting and happy all the time. a

i know that the issue of the location of the navy's o.l.f. has already been debated and voted on so i won't spend a lot of time on it but i would like to mention that i cosponsored an amendment with senator burr to prevent the navy from building an o.l.f. in the sands banks and hale's lake site in north carolina. i am against an o.l.f. at these sites because it destroys small family farms around for generations as well as thousands of acres of farmland essential to the livelihood and economic base of those communities. and o.l.f. at these locations only brings 52 jobs and destroy valuable farmland that currently employs over 2,000 workers. moreover, the o.l.f. is only a few miles away from ongoing projects that will attract new businesses and tourists. last week, i met with local government leaders of the respectivings trespective countg this. the state of north carolina passed a law banning the construction of an o.l.f. at the sites and i do not think it would be in the navy's interest to continue to pursue construction of an o.l.f. at these

a we the air force are supporting the navy in every way we can. >> again, it's an overall relationship question. take a look at the f-22. obviously the decision has been made by the administration to terminate with the understanding and acceptance of the air force leadership at 187 aircraft. congress is still debating the future of the airplane. but two extremely close u.s. allies, japan and australia, are very interested in an export vearnt of the f-22. can you tell us whether and how this is likely to be resolved over time? i know that it probably comes up in virtually every meeting you have with your counterpart. >> occasionally it does come up. first of all, export of the f- 22 is forbidden by law, cod fide in the amendment. number two, even if that didn't exist the f-22 was not designed to be an exported fighter. >> that's right, because its systems are not tamper proof, as are any of the other systems. >> and i'm not going to go into details of what makes a fighter exportable, but there would have to be significant redesign. it would take time, a lot of expense. but let's go to t

the navy has not done a particularly good job. senator webb, in committee, suggested some report language which hopefully will be helpful that's constructive. and senator webb, of course, is equally eloquent in his position. we adopted that report language. we should instant with it. it is not good public policy for congress to prematurely limit training locations. particularly when those sites have not been fully considered by the military. so it's hopefully going to prod the navy to do better in terms of consultation and communication with our communities and south carolina and virginia and around the country. so i oppose this debate. the presiding officer: is there further debate? if not, the question is on the amendment. all those in favor say aye, opposed, no. the nos appear to have it, and the nos do have it and the amendment is defeated. the presiding officer: without objection. the presiding officer: the senator from oklahoma. mr. coburn: i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the rol

last time i checked, sarah pailin was never portraying herself as navy seal material. she was leader of the state of alaska and made the decision for a variety of reasons to step down. >> i would agree with the navy seals scenario -- i do not agree with the navy seals scenario, but what i do agree with is the quitting as it. if people believe in you as the people of alaska did, she did quit and let them down. one reason we know is money. where is the family value in that? certainly, to say you love the state of alaska, you can see russia from your backyard, but you're ready to leave. laura: i think there were a lot of reasons that went into this decision. it was part family and getting tired of the investigations. that is what i got out of it. i am not saying it was the smartest move if you want to be a future political leader either. no well, when we talk about sera palin, -- noel, when we talk about sarah palin, you become unhinged. why are they so obsessed? >> she is hardly a quitter. she is stepping down to run on a national level. she is going to campaign with peo

they do great work for navy region northwest.i don't have anything named after me, my family has no interest in this any way, shape, or form. this is a good, solid amendment. this company this year has no one representing it. it doesn't have a lobbying firm. the gentleman wants to make shares insinuations. i still funded it because it was quality work. it was work that is herer tos you. and congress has the right to -- meritorious. congress has the right to do. congress also has the right to review national programs. national programs should be considered by congress. we can either increase the funding for them or decrease the funding for them. we have the right to do that. congress has the power of the purse. we can't give it away because it's in the constitution. this is an important issue. now, you know, all i can tell my colleagues here is that this is a good operation in bremerton. they're doing fine work for the united states navy and i yield back the balance of my time and urge a no vote. the chair: the gentleman yields ba

in april or early may of 1780 the royal navy moved the jersey too well about bay or she was presumably refitted to begin receiving prisoners. hoping the jersey for use as a prison ship began with a mole of her mass candice lines, or illness, figurehead and writer, her downpours for then sealed and replaced by two small rose at airports part with and lattices for the benefit of prisoners confined on her lower tax. on the quarterdeck enlarge on in our tent shelter 30 on marines who watched through holes in a 10-foot high barricade when the prisoners came up on deck to exercise. on the part of the gun deck directly below the quarterback for the officers kevin and various store rooms. between the court rejected and the gun deck known as the spar deck, it too was successful the prisoners during the day though a good bit of it was only a per. foreign where half of this is kept pace with their own consumption. in the bay massive chain cables for an after anchored the jersey securely in the shallow channels that lived between the mud flats, she lay about 100 yards off shore opposite that mouth

it's been turned into the brooklyn navy. the rising and falling tide kept the water and the channel moving but never swiftly enough to clear away the greasy putrescent slick that encircle her after the necessary tubbs were brought from below and emptied over the side in the morning, a daily ritual. a flock of smaller vessels usually covered nearby among them don't always the same time. john, bristol pac and eight export the sometimes also took prisoners. when the jersey began to receive american prisoners isn't clear. it may have been when she was still in service as a hospital ship. but once she became a prison called the numbers soared and conditions rapidly deteriorated. among her first prisoners which john van dyke a furloughed artillery man who had the misfortune to be traveling on the brink taken by the enemy frigate iris. he and others when i came on board, vandyke recalled, her stench was so great i thought it would soon kill me. the rations he received were so short a person would think it was not passable, possible

i would like to ask you a little bit about the balance of the navy. obviously we didn't have the navy when this all started out in the brits game, an overpowering force. could you talk about that force and what was the decisive turning point? was it when the french came up or was it before that? >> well, actually, you mentioned earlier that james mcpherson is coming soon, and mcpherson's wonderful book, the battle cry of freedom on the civil war, mcpherson's argues that in a war, as long as the civil war, there was not a turning point but there were several turning points. it and i think that is true in the revolutionary war as well. i think there were five or six turning points in that war. bunker hill, the first pitched battle of the conflict in june of 75 was absolutely crucial, because it demonstrated to the americans that they could stand up against british regulars. i think the naval engagement on lake champlain, when benedict arnold built n.a.b. for america, and slow down the british, so that when the british tried to invade new york at ticonde

as a result, the navy cannot buy sufficient numbers. this is disarmament without a treaty.tuation is worse, he goes on to write -- the situation is worse in the air force. then-secretary of the navy lehman says in 1983, i was in the pentagon meeting that launched the f-22 raptor. the plan was to buy 648 jets beginning in 1996 for $60 million each. that was $1983. now they cost $350 million a piece and the obama budget cost the cost at 187 jets. then he adds, at least they're safe from cyberattack since no one in china knows how to program the '83 vintage ibm software that runs them and then goes on to cite other problems including navy ship-building fiascoes, et cetera, et cetera. the army's future combat system, which was meant to re-equip the entire army and has had a 400% cost overrun and the new air force weather satellite with a similar cost overlun so it's out of control i say to my colleagues. i will match my commitment to equipping the men and women in the military with anyone in this body. but it's got to stop and this vote -- this vote on the f-22 will determine w

after graduating from north carroll high school he did a stint in the navy. he loved hand demriding but thought flying was better. he's survived by a 14-year-old daughter. family members say he'd call her a half dozen times a day to say i love you. 24-year-old jeffrey nordaas of columbia not only had his pilot's license but was certified to train pilots. his three older brothers say he was a fantastic individual. his brother dan released a statement saying, in part, he made everyone around him want to be a better person. i will truly miss him more than anyone can imagine. this is truly a devastating loss to everyone that knew him. 43-year-old niall booth of new market worked for advanced helicopter concepts and was the c.e.o. of the sales bridge solutions consulting firm of new market. booth was a native of england who moved to the u.s. with his wife and two children in 1997. according to the frederick news post, booth coached a youth rug by team and was a master swimmer who come speeded in the 2006 world championships. mr. booth was also the director of heli

here are some of his comments about how the military overall and the navy in particular restructuring itself to meet what they say are the threats of the future. >> the aircraft carrier abraham lincoln was quietly in port in hong kong. by saturday, she was providing 50,000 pounds of food and water a day to the tsunami-affected area in indonesia. that event also let us to adjust our strategy in a very significant way. as i said, we have been responding to disasters throughout our history. let's see what we can do proactively. we begin a series of humanitarian missions. they have touched four hundred thousand patients from our ships. that is in south america, the pacific, and in africa. if you consider the four hundred 9000 patients, that is like going to the verizon center, packing the house, and then having doctors treat every single one of the people 20 times. that is not an insignificant contribution that our people are making. host: the admiral went on to explain that it is this approach that the military is moving more into humanitarian efforts to help prevent future conflicts. th

and spanish navy together gave the allies a numerical superiority on the seas. and it really changed the equation on the, on the seas from that point on. during the war to the best of my knowledge washington had no, no contact with the spanish. he certainly, of course, did as president of the united states, and one of the last acts of washington as president in the last full year of his presidency was he concluded a treaty that was called the pinckney treaty with spain, and it was a treaty that resolved many of the western differences that had existed with spain. actually from the 1760s all the way down to the 1790s that spain agreed to the southern boundary of the united states, that the united states wanted which is more or less the boundary along georgia and alabama and the florida boundary today extending out to the mississippi river. and they opened navigation, gave the united states the right of navigation on the mississippi river which was absolutely crucial for opening the west because that was the only way that western farmers living in places like kent

under the navy and a lot of people from the navy are working at navy and the commander is not the first person to step into unknown territory. an underling steps into the unknown territory. but he had so alienated nasa executives that they decided they really wanted armstrong, who reminded them of charles lindbergh whether or not you think that's a good idea, they thought it was a good idea at the time, so they wanted armstrong to be first. and then -- but they didn't really want to say this was motivated for any personal or political reasons. so in the dress rehearsals of apollo 9 and 10, they found inside the lunar module it's so tiny in there that trying to get the second in command out of the door which was next to the commander was very difficult. so they gave that as the reason for why they had armstrong be first. however, if you talk to many people who worked at nasa at that time, including mike collins, they believe that this was armstrong's command decision that he would be first so there you have three answers to the question how did they decide armstrong would be first. now,

if i may say so, i would draw your attention to the air commander, the chief of staff for the army, navy, and they're forced joint helicopter command. he said only a day or two ago, we have got more helicopters than the canadians, the dutch and the us trillion's put together up there. of course, what we've got less than the americans to -- and the australians put together out there. of course, we got less than the americans, but you would expect this. this is a pretty phenomenal and helicopter effort. and then major lieutenant- colonel richardson said there was much speculation about helicopters and how we got enough. it is a sign that the helicopters would not have saved the lives of the individuals last week. you cannot conduct a war from a helicopter. the equipment we have is very, very good. in terms of what we like more, and the commander, would say, yes, we would like more equipment, more troops, whatever it may be. but my commander is very hard over on the fact that he is sufficient to get on with the task that he has been given. i'm giving you answers from people on the ground. w

he would juggle navy with this western hunting boone and crockett club. he knew so much. but i would like people to understand is he did not just know about the gray wolf, he was the world's up 40 on them. one person co-founded the boone and crockett club with roosevelt. it was specifically formed out of the york to safe buffalo, antelope dear, caribou from being exterminated. these are great books that roosevelt was very involved with. it was about gentleman hunters. they were working to save animals. people had problems with that. it was the hunters of america that a reformed the early conservation movement. all those sporting journals that started putting in saying you have to put a fischbach if it has eggs. we take for granted now, but roosevelt' and others put chapters about this. >> last couple of questions, who pays for all of your travel and all of this research done? >> the publisher give you an advance. i squander it on travels, so i make no money. i have to stay as a professor. this book was very expensive for me. >> do you know how much? >> i do not. i read th

he told the admiral porter, the navy man, he said you got to get us out of this place where i can moveroops down the river south -- away from vicksburg and potter agreed with that and they did and they ran the batteries which they considered not a smart thing to do and these were big guns the confederates had out there. and they did it at night and they even it got some transport ships through by tieing them on the sides of the you're classes, you know, at least away from the side of the guns, at least to start transporting troops and they went to a place called hard times. they wanted to transport from there but it was under water from all this flooding and they went south from there a little bit. and for some reason, grant picked general mcclernan, his political enemy to lead this expedition across the river. mainly because he was the only one:, of grant's major general who actually agreed with it. i mean, sherman was aghast. he said we'll all be killed. this is crazy. you can't -- we can't do this. you have no -- you have nothing to eat on the other side of the river. and various t
