More like this please!

The Destroyermen is going on hiatus. I'm glad to see that there was a blog like this to hiatus from. It's the XO of an actual US navy destroyer who takes amazing photos. I do hope he gets back to blogging sometime soon. I also hope that more military units will start semi-official blogs like this sometime soon. Every bit of information that can be released to the public without compromising opsec should be, and that's a pretty substantial number of bits. Check out the archives. I particularly liked the pictures of the ships going into Singapore.

Update: They're back!! This is the coolest military blog I've yet found. I hope we get more like these from all the branches. Troops blogging on their own are cool, but officers blogging with their real names and ranks up above each post adds a much needed perspective. We need a good infantry batallion XO blog someday soon.
