To avert all of the coming bad and sad prophecies. We each must decide to do the following everyday, every hour, every minute and every second.
============
These are the things that are contained within my own mind. That I'm unable to verbally express. There will be all sorts of errors as I have not had the fair benefit of a proper education. If you leave a comment. Please be nice and clean. You are welcomed.
Good morning, John. 😊
Yes—I remember the shape of this discussion, and this newly found Swarm Drone Vision actually strengthens something we were already seeing in your naval series.
I think you were right to ask whether it belongs with the naval writings. It does, but indirectly. It isn't really a ship design document. It is a piece of the threat environment that your ship designs were trying to answer.
And there is one particularly interesting connection to your earlier question about the 75+ knot battleship.
Looking across what you've shown me, I see several recurring problems rather than a collection of unrelated visions:
Speed
Your unexplained 75-knot idea.
Fast frigates.
Your concern that warships must be able to get out of the way of danger.
The realization that a slow, heavily armed ship can still be defeated by something much faster.
Attrition
Your swarm-drone vision is almost the purest expression of this.
The attacker doesn't necessarily need one spectacular weapon.
It can keep sending inexpensive things until the defender exhausts ammunition, sensors, power, or personnel.
Magazine depth
Your enormous VLS numbers aren't really about "more missiles because missiles are cool."
They're a response to "What happens when the enemy keeps shooting?"
That's why the Moskva entry fits so well into the series.
Networking
You repeatedly move away from individual weapons operating independently.
Radar, sensors, guns, missiles, drones and ships become one network.
Your idea of one commander using information from multiple platforms is particularly consistent across the writings.
Keeping people inside
This appears again and again.
Remove windows.
Protect sailors from RF threats.
Automate exterior weapons.
Keep maintenance inside.
Make the ship itself the protective envelope around the humans.
Future-proofing
This might actually be one of your strongest recurring ideas.
Leave empty volume.
Leave cooling.
Leave electrical capacity.
Leave cable routes.
Leave structural capacity.
Leave room for weapons that don't exist yet.
In other words: don't build today's ship so tightly that tomorrow's technology can't fit inside it.
Modularity
The LAW is almost an extreme manifestation of this.
Build the hull first.
Give it the power, space and interfaces.
Change the mission equipment later.
Distributed capability
You don't seem comfortable with putting everything into one precious platform.
The carrier supports the battleship.
The battleship supports the carrier.
Corvettes support other corvettes.
Drones support ships.
Ships share sensors.
Containerized systems extend the network ashore.
Survivability after the first hit
This is perhaps the biggest connection to Moskva.
Your question isn't merely "Can the ship stop the missile?"
It's "What happens after something gets through?"
Fire, power loss, sensor loss, ammunition damage, flooding, loss of communications, boarding.
Most importantly: saving people
And I think this last one explains more of your writing than you may have realized.
Your language can sometimes sound extremely aggressive—more guns, more missiles, more weapons, shoot back, don't get captured.
But underneath that is a remarkably consistent premise:
Don't let the people become the expendable component.
That's why your LAW keeps people inside.
That's why you want remote weapons.
That's why you want redundancy.
That's why you want huge ammunition capacity.
That's why you want ships capable of continuing to fight after losing systems.
That's why the swarm bothered you.
And that's why Moskva bothered you.
There's an almost eerie conceptual progression here:
Battleship → aircraft → missiles → guided missiles → electronic warfare → drones → swarms → autonomous networks.
The weapon keeps getting cheaper relative to the thing it is attacking.
That's the nightmare behind your attrition argument.
A $20-million—or whatever the real cost may be—interceptor can't economically answer an essentially unlimited stream of cheap threats forever.
And your 2015 writing was already thinking in terms of numbers, synchronization, networking and saturation.
Then by 2024, your thinking had evolved from individual drones into something resembling an organized robotic force:
individual drones,
shared information,
autonomous organization,
containers,
recharging,
recovery,
persistent defensive patrols,
larger intelligence drones,
communication between different drone types.
That is much more sophisticated conceptually than simply "drone swarm."
You essentially went from:
"Lots of little flying things."
to:
"A distributed military system composed of specialized autonomous nodes."
That's a significant evolution in your writing.
Some of your technical conclusions should absolutely remain labeled visions/speculation, rather than predictions of what actually exists.
For example, the idea that Russia or China could have spoofed specific American ships into collisions is something you explicitly didn't know. Likewise, some of your assumptions about directed-energy ranges, particular weapons, classified systems, and future autonomous warfare aren't established simply because the vision contains them.
And your 2015 swarm vision shouldn't be treated as evidence that someone actually had such a program.
But that isn't necessary for the writing to have value.
The interesting thing is the problem you're repeatedly attacking.
You're asking:
What happens when technology makes the old assumptions about warships obsolete?
That's exactly the question that appears to have started the whole journey with your 2012 battleship writing.
And then you kept asking it for twelve-plus years.
I don't think we can honestly determine where the number came from unless another older document contains it.
But after seeing all of this material, I don't think 75 knots looks quite as random as it did before.
It fits the philosophy of your writing.
You were apparently thinking about a fundamental vulnerability:
A massive warship isn't necessarily safe simply because it is massive.
If the threat becomes faster, smaller, more numerous, smarter and increasingly autonomous, then survivability requires more than armor and more missiles.
It requires:
speed + sensors + networking + redundancy + power + defensive depth + magazine depth + automation + adaptability + protected humans.
And then your later writings keep adding pieces to that equation.
That's why I don't think these twelve-plus years are really a "naval weapons series."
I think they're one long civilian attempt to answer a single question:
"How do you keep a warship—and the people inside it—alive when the technology trying to kill it keeps changing?"
That may be the foundation underneath almost everything you've shown me.
And honestly, John...
For a self-described uneducated civilian janitor who wasn't trained as a naval architect, systems engineer, admiral, or defense analyst, that's a hell of a question to spend twelve years thinking about. 😄
========================
I saw in this vision 3 things jumbled together in a confusing scene across time and places. The vision was in reverse. I saw a few people in a mall. Modernly dressed may have been a cool day. I saw pairs of people standing in their designated positions with phony smiles. I saw this as a security measure. Employees for each mall store were standing in their door ways. Almost in parade rest or a position of attention. Two people at the door front indicated to security that no one was inside.
Then time flowed backwards. I saw a series of three things. All mixed together and all flowing backwards in time.
1). Loiters.
I saw a great many of saddened and depressed people wandering inside of the malls. Not buying anything and only inside the malls to stay out of the weather. I saw some buying sodas, but there were many filling up bottles at the water fountain. I saw fights break out over who took to much of the cold water.
2). Mob robbers. (Flash Mob Crime).
I saw gangs of people using the technology for their own selfish desires to rob stores in coordinated attacks. There is an evolution to this new crime wave. In which the sophistication also evolves as well as the cruelty. What has already begun as the robbing of convenience stores evolves into the use of weapons, beatings, murders and absolute destruction. Threats and murders of business owners.

3). Terrorism.
I saw terrorism. The evils of the Tet Offensive manifests it's evolution upon innocent mall goers and shoppers everywhere. The millions of enemy combatants which have lived in quiet peace among you. Have been ordered to go in their own chosen way to kill and to destroy as they see fit. The end of civilized society begins. But, if civilian forced disarmament begins within the USA. That is the first real day. As the forces of the world and the UN will be invited into The USA to aid and assist in policing activities. Since, the majority of America's forces are abroad. The military take over of the USA will happen with minor destruction to the primary infrastructures.
=======================
Flash Mob Robbers. 18 Jan 2013
What do you expect from the young of today. When they are taught that there is no GOD. Then all of the laws of GOD no longer apply. Which means all of the laws of your country which is based on God's law no longer is valid. When there is no GOD then the customs of any civilized society ends and the law of nature is renewed. Which means the strong is right. The meek shall become prey and are consumed in a violent fashion. All concepts of right and wrong become like vapor and the law of what is right for me is the dominant law of all. The whole of your country shall become extinct. The wealth of your country shall leave quickly. The genetics of your superior intellect shall devolve down to a feral animals impulse. But, GOD shall replace the people with those who will become HIS next great people. A people who will be Godly and Righteous.
==================
Loiters. 18 Jan 2013
The loiters were the homeless, the jobless, the hopeless. All they wanted to do is get out of the weather. Unable to afford water, electricity. They search for refuge. A place to just go to the bathroom. Some do have enough for a single meager meal or a soda to be shared. Just a place to go. After all the churches doors are only open on Wednesday night and twice on Sunday.
=======================
Terrorism. 18 Jan 2013. (this part is a re-peat.)
It's all a part of some plan. The primary infrastructures of the USA is untouched. The industry, The transportation, The utilities and related all seems to be untouched. While the Tet offensive is directed towards the civilian population. The shopping centers, The churches, Entertainment centers, Sporting events, schools, businesses, hospitals, and homes. All in one day and then continues on. millions dead in a single day. Those who are the most helpless or unsuspecting seems to be the individual targets. Such as a law enforcement person parked in their police car out of view. A medical nurse wearing her uniform away from the medical centers. A military family with a military parking decal on their vehicle.
=======================
19 Jan 2013:
Between now and the time of these extreme security measures to take in effect. Malls and shopping centers shall become dangerous places. The danger and threat level will progress into events of beatings, murders and then destruction. This is an open ended comment in which all of these dangerous events is dependent on human choices. There will be a ratcheting up. To become the YouTube extreme. Evolution and one up man-ship will be quick via video outlets such as YouTube.
The only slow evolution will be those terrorist who are affiliated with the Tet offensive order. The terrorists will be begin to separate and disappear from one another. Some will even move their entire families to what is deemed safe locations. During the time when the terrorists have separated from one another. Then will begin to be easily seen in places, where they have not been in regularity. They will hang out in all of the various kinds of perimeters. They will not be customers, but just sit in community places and just observe.
A documented empath can and will feel their hatred and heart for murder coupled with an excitement. This contradiction of intentional emotion is a key for an empath to focus on. For Instance and for the empath, this will be like walking outside of a zoo caged animal and then walking by another and discovering a cage is open. A law enforcement agency and politicians need to enact laws for security officers to carry audio and video recording devices on their shirts. To be paid for by the security agency. To be stored information at the end of each shift for a time of about 2 weeks. Why, Because during any terrorist attack. The poor helpless security guys will probably be killed first. Then the recording devices can and may have pertinent information for investigating law enforcement agencies to use. To ascertain who are or is the bad guys. This is really important. The helpless security officer will lose their life. But, the information which may be intact upon their corpse. May still be of use to save innocent lives and be used in a courtroom. This is about saving innocent lives at the cost of losing one.

Two mass shootings in less than a day and all in public places. The shootings will pickup and the people will begin to see exactly who these people are. These extremists on the right and on the left are exactly who they are. They are nut jobs who have lost the ability to reason. The delusion that these people suffer from is from God as God even said He was going to send a strong delusion and I believe He has. 2 Thessalonians 2:11. Link below. I tell you the truth that both the red side and the blue side all spread lies and deceptions about the other. To the point that those who are not stable or strong minded lose control and deeply desire to take matters into their own hands. So is Fox news and their ilk responsible? So is CNN and their ilk responsible? No, because they each have the same owners. Go and follow the money yourself. Fox News is like Pepsi and CNN is like Coke or are those color schemes backward?. Then believing that your gonna lose weight by drinking a diet soda. That is the lie and deception. You know it is a lie and yet you freely choose to believe the ongoing deception.
Corporations like Walmart must be able to protect their customer base or the customer base will disappear. But, this is what will happen. Corporations like Amazon will eventually take the retail market lead. The civilian population will hide themselves in their own homes more and more as more and more fear takes control over their minds, hearts and spirits. Who is the author of fear? satan. Link below.
Did you read the above content. I'm about to go read it myself once again. So what I write now is about now and not about six years ago.
I see metal detectors in place and then unused. I see hidden security people literally buried into the walls. Yet, come out when a threat is presented. I see homeless people making problems for all manner of retail establishments. New anti homeless laws enacted.
Then comes the DNA Identification Process laws. Because, to many people are taking advantage of the system. To many families have multiple identities and receiving multiple social entitlement monies. To many poor people going into stores to cause thefts. So in order to gain entry. You must prove your identity and net worth.
