The U.S. Navy's beleaguered shipbuilding program took a major hit on Tuesday as Navy Secretary John Phelan announced he was cancelling plans to buy Constellation-class frigates, once heralded as a key part of U.S. strategy to keep up with China's rapidly expanding naval fleet. Phelan said the multibillion-dollar program for the surface combatants wasn't delivering any bang for the buck.
With a displacement of about 7,200 tons, the ships were seen as filling a gap between the 10,000-ton Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers -- the backbone of the US fleet -- and 3,500-ton littoral combat ships (from another Navy shipbuilding program widely considered a failure).
Here's what happens when you take DialAgain and Corky's suggestions and just build it to find out....
Between 2019 and 2025, California paid four technology companies over $450 million to build out its Next Generation 911 system, a more advanced emergency communication tool that would provide dispatchers with enhanced location services and other ways for the public to communicate with first responders operators.
But when the time came to turn that system on, it didn't work.
