Davis: RCMP, coroner shouldn’t hide information from public, or tell media how to report leaderpost.com/opinion/davis…
I am very sad to hear of the passing of Dr Symonds. His book "Nimitz at War: Command Leadership from Pearl Harbor to Tokyo Bay" is outstanding, and a fantastic read. We were better for his knowledge, research, insight and writing.
The U.S. Naval Institute mourns the passing of Dr. Craig L. Symonds, distinguished naval historian, award-winning author, and professor emeritus of history at the U.S. Naval Academy. Through three decades of teaching and a lifetime of scholarship, he helped generations of naval officers and readers understand the people, decisions, and sacrifices that shaped our naval history.
In May 2023, Dr. Symonds addressed the Naval Institute’s 150th Annual Meeting, reflecting on the enduring relationship between the Navy and its independent forum. His remarks became his most recent Proceedings article, “A Two-Way Street: The Navy–Naval Institute’s 150-Year Relationship.” In it, he described the Institute as “a sounding board and not an echo chamber”—a reminder of the value of thoughtful debate in advancing the naval profession.
We honor his lasting contributions to naval history and extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, colleagues, and former students. His legacy lives on in the people he taught and the history he brought to life.
Read his article and revisit his 2023 remarks.

Snapshot of our aircraft carrier force:
🔹 USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77): Deployed since spring, been in the fight. Doing a needed port call in the far east!
🔹 USS George Washington (CVN-73): Forward-deployed from Yokosuka, on station in the fight.
🔹 USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71): Just deployed and is transiting the Pacific. Fully ready to fight.
🔹 USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72): Heading home to San Diego after a deployment of more than 300 days where they fought and crushed it.
🔹 USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69): Training underway, likely to fight again as IKE has been known to do.
That’s about 30,000 warrior sailors when you count the accompanying destroyers. Standard day. Old pic.

Here’s CBS Sunday Morning’s feature on Alan Alda… featuring a special appearance by our own Jeff Maxwell!
Alan Alda, now 90, is one of the country's most-beloved actors, best-known for his role as "Hawkeye" Pierce on the classic TV series "M*A*S*H."
Alda talks with CBS News chief medical correspondent @DrLaPook about his challenging childhood, dealing with polio and his mother's schizophrenia; his decades of work to help scientists and health care professionals communicate more clearly; and about living with Parkinson's disease, which he refuses to let define him.
