The US Navy recently announced the formation of a task group comprising Arleigh Burke-class destroyers to counter the Russian submarine threat in the Atlantic Ocean.

Task Group Greyhound, which received initial operational capability on September 1, is part of the navy’s Optimized Fleet Response Plan (OFRP) introduced in 2014.

The task force currently comprises the USS Donald Cook (DDG-75) and Thomas Hudner, followed by USS The Sullivans (DDG-68) in January. According to USNI News, USS Cole (DDG-67) and USS Gravely (DDG-107) will join the group when Donald Cook returns for maintenance next year.

This implies they haven't been doing this all along,or it wouldn't be news.

WHO THE HELL can we hold responsible for this?

And don't say "politicians". All politicians can do is get an officer relieved from his command,and that would certainly make news and cause questions to be asked in the press.

Once again,"Duty,Honor,Country". If you can't follow those three simple obligations,you have no business wearing stars.
