Military Watch Magazine – May 15, 2026
U.S. Naval Operations Chief Admiral Daryl Caudle has warned that the Fiscal Year 2026 budget did not account for the war against Iran, and that the Navy as a result has been forced to make extreme cuts to accommodate the costs of the conflict. “We’re burning bright … but it does come at cost, and it comes at operational costs,” he stated, adding that the Navy is rapidly depleting its fuel, maintenance funds munitions, and remaining operating hours. As a result, he warned, the service may have to cut training, routine operations and personnel by July unless Congress provides greater funding. The U.S. initiated hostilities with Iran on February 28, with the two sides engaging in a high intensity conflict for 39 days. Hostilities have continued at much lower levels since April 8.
The strain caused by continued operations around Iran could soon affect personnel, with Admiral Caudle warning that the Navy may have to pause permanent change-of-station moves for 12,000 to 15,000 sailors and delay enlistment and reenlistment bonuses. The U.S.-Iranian war has caused considerable and growing controversies in the United States, with a growing number of reports having strengthened the consensus that Iran appears much better able to sustain hostilities over the longer term.U.S. intelligence sources speaking to The New York Times recent confirmed that Iran has retained approximately 70 percent of its missile arsenal, and has successfully restored operational access to 30 out of 33 missile facilities along the Strait of Hormuz, or 91 percent, and approximately 90 percent of underground storage facilities and launch pads.
Contrasting to Iran’s ability to sustain its arsenal, the U.S. has expended the large majority of its PrSM ballistic missiles and GBU-57 bunker buster bombs that played a central role in the war effort, while anti-ballistic missiles from the Patriot and THAAD systems saw the large majority expended despite drawing on stockpiles from across the world. Analysts have estimated that the U.S. launched attacks on more than 6,000 Iranian targets in the first 10 days of attacks, almost all using costly beyond visual range weaponry, while also firing at estimated more than 2000 anti-ballistic missiles to intercept Iranian counter strikes. By the final week of March, the Navy was estimated to have expended close to 1,000 of Tomahawk cruise missiles, of a total arsenal of between 3,000 and 4,500 in its total inventory.
In mid-May United States Congressman Ed Case confirmed that the United States had lost 39 aircraft during hostilities with Iran, averaging one aircraft per day, which further raised questions regarding the ability to sustain the war effort. Iran’s demonstrated ability to launch deep penetration strikes into hostile territory, including for bombing runs of U.S. bases, was a wholly unanticipated aspect of the war that caused considerable embarrassment in the United States. The U.S. Navy has been forced to extend the deployments of its warships by several months for the campaign, causing issues with logistics that have resulted in food shortages onboard, while negatively impacting morale and at times causing malfunctions on warships. This has further cemented the consensus that the United States’ position to continue the war effort remains highly unfavourable.

RICKY GERVAIS ACCUSED OF ANTISEMITISM
Ricky Gervais exposed Epstein connections to hollywood jews on live TV –
“You all knew him, don’t lie”
Ricky Gervais shocked Hollywood when he openly referenced Jeffrey Epstein during the Golden Globes, exposing the uncomfortable truth in front of the world. The room fell silent as he called out the same elites who had ignored years of scandal. What sounded like a joke hit harder because it was rooted in reality. Years later, the moment stood as one of the boldest public callouts of elite hypocricy
well said ricky
Wait until Iran sinks one or two, see what it’ll cost then.
That’s rich, already spending trillions and the navy wants more more ? Well, there is a “raging war “ going on after all.
“U.S. Navy Warns it Can’t Sustain Operations Around Iran…”
What “Operations”???😂
Oh here we go, the military crying about a shortage of funds and resources…the same military with a budget so far beyond obscene that you can’t even see it with a telescope, an offensive “defense” budget in the jewnited states that is as much as, what, the military budgets of every other cuntry on earth combined? The Pentagram should be nuked and anyone crawling out of the rubble lit up with flame-throwers.
Then I got a real good laugh about how the morale of the costumed faggot retards and stunted psychos is floundering because they’ve actually been deployed for a few months. I’m sure that such stout semen as that lot would have fared well back in the day when ships’ crews were away from home for years,…

I could have predicted this kind of story and the set up it provides.
“negatively impacting morale and at times causing malfunctions on warships” It looks like the blame game has already begun. The vessels now resting in Davey’s locker will be blamed on personnel to scapegoat the malfunctions/incapabilities of missile defenses against Iranian drones and missiles.
Crew morale? Are you kidding me? Some – not all – of those guys would probably feel better off in Attica.
