Commander Justin Cobb, a Maritime Fires Officer with Carrier Strike Group 11, joins the program to his recent article, “No One Should Think the War Will be Short.” Justin's article was recently published in USNI Proceedings and won their Future of Naval Warfare Essay Contest. It discussed why a conflict between the United States and the People’s Republic of China is more likely to be protracted than short and what the United States should do about it. William McQuiston edited and produced this episode.
