We should acknowledge that PoW has today safely returned from its 8 month deployment to the other side of the world, successfully and without breaking down. You might say not breaking down should not be remarkable, but given the hoo-hah over previous teething troubles, and the hoo-hah that would have ensued if the carrier HAD encountered a problem, I think it's only right to acknowledge that it didn't.
BZ to all involved in pulling this off. Yes there are ongoing shortcomings, yes the Bs badly need an interim standoff capability, yes the whole thing will have placed the B fleet under considerable strain, and yes declaring FOC is a bit of a stretch. But the CSG deployment nevertheless achieved its stated aims and delivering it was no mean feat.
