A “helicopter training ship” with a crew of 150 and a 400 bed hospital…
Looks very stylish. Glad to see they’re being very flexible with their frigate designs.

Good to see these remote islands getting the help they need.
Reminds me of the time the New World got protected from smallpox.

The blanket story appears to be mostly a myth… with the only documented case being an attempt by the British in the 1760s rather than cowboys or American military. It didn’t work because, by then, the Indians were carriers rather than victims. The smallpox the British tried to give the demanding Indians (on 2 blankets and a scarf) had actually come from the Indians.
The Spanish brought smallpox around 1520 (via an infected African slave) and it killed 90% of the indigenous population.
When eurofags starts yapping about Americans killing Indians or having slaves, tell them to go get fùcked.
