CAVASSHIPS Podcast [Oct 09, ’26] Ep: 262 Bryan Clark Reviews Headlines & Iran Lessons Learned

Welcome to the CavasShips Podcast with Christopher P. Cavas and Chris Servello…a weekly podcast looking at naval and maritime events and issues of the day – in the US, across the seas and around the world. This week…For the last year, folks like Chris and me have wondered if Navy may be missing it’s generational moment because it wasn’t ready for the influx of political will and cash brought to bear by the administration and supporters in Congress. But could it actually be the Iran war and the expected maintenance bow wave that causes the Navy to miss the boat? Hudson Institute’s Bryan Clark joins us to review recent headlines and to look at the effects the Iran conflict is having on the Navy today and the efforts to plan for its future.
