US Navy ‘barely fit for purpose’

Sky News host Rowan Dean says two Chinese surveillance ships “prowling” outside Australia’s territorial waters to spy on Talisman Sabre 2021 could have saved themselves the bother with a report finding the US Navy is “barely fit for purpose”. “And the reason? Identity politics,” he said. Exercise Talisman Sabre is a bilateral training activity between Australia and the US, with forces from Canada, New Zealand, South Korea and the UK participating in 2021.
