India's Coming Carrier Force, Plus Sundry

A few links that may be of some interest:

• One of my co-bloggers at LGM writes about the Port Chicago Naval Magazine explosion, with related thoughts about race, labor, and military service.
• I have two columns on Indian naval aviation up at the Diplomat, both displaying some skepticism about the structure of the program.
• Also at the Diplomat see this good Zachary Keck post on the Golden Ratio between services in the U.S.
• Curious to see what people think of Dan Drezner's contribution on the value of military primacy.  I'm still formulating my own thoughts.
• Finally, Clayton Thyne and I exchanged some political sciency thoughts on the Egyptian coup.
