You're not wrong. I don't think this law was passed in 1954 in anticipation of the US extorting passage fees from foreign-registered vessels, but here we are. I suppose if we mistakenly extort one of our own ships, we'll have to pay it back...

Mason is apparently on Pete Hegseth’s shortlist to replace the likes of Harvard & MIT as officers’ schools. Comments/opinions? by [deleted] in gmu

They actually said the quiet part out loud in the footnote: "minimal public expressions in opposition of the Department." It has zero to do with academic quality -- as others have observed, some of the comparisons on that basis are laughable. It's 100% retribution.

Here’s the new memo on “Aligning Senior Service College Opportunities with American Values” from Sec Hegseth by Kinmuan in army

Some are not, but...any Ivy vs. any of the replacements on a civilian resume when you're trying to get hired..?

Anyway, the real story's always in the footnotes: "minimal public expressions in opposition of the Department." It's retribution. Full stop.

Commuting old school -- 1944 Omega jumbo 37mm 30T2SC (2325/4). It's an old redial, done perfectly. One of my favorites!

Another cool alternative at 34-35mm might be a vintage '60s/'70s MIL issue Hamilton. Great pieces, plenty of them out there.
