Members of the Chinese Coast Guard and Philippine Navy clash with oars and sticks near the LST-542-class tank landing ship BRP Sierra Madre (LT-57), which was purposefully beached in 1999 on the disputed Second Thomas Shoal in the South China Sea.
Waiting in the Charlotte airport for the American Airlines crew to show up for the flight. Honest question for airline folks... How does a flight get sold without making sure there is a crew to work it?

According to a release from U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM), USS Nimitz (CVN 68), the embarked Carrier Air Wing 17 (CVW-17), USS Gridley (DDG 101), and USNS Patuxent (T-AO 201) have now arrived in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility (AOR).
Context:
Amidst rising U.S.-Cuba tensions it’s important to note that the deployment of the Nimitz aircraft carrier was previously announced in late March, as she and her accompanying vessels are set to take part in the latest iteration of the Southern Seas 2026 passing exercises with a number of South American and Caribbean nations, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Uruguay. Per a SOUTHCOM release from March 23, 2026, she will also make port visits in Brazil, Chile, Panama, and Jamaica, as she circumnavigates the continent of South America.
Whenever I talk with @mercoglianos about global shipping, I always walk away learning much more than I did before.
