Starfleet Tactical #181: Frigates & Battleships in the News... (w/Chris Carlson) [3 Jan 2026@9pmET]
The current naval news has been ... interesting, with both the cancellation of the Constellation class frigate and the announcement of the new battleship. The former is interesting for all of the normal reasons discussed on this show, and the latter is fascinating from a naming and typ[ing standpoint. (Thats a BATTLESHIP? Really?)
So, who better to talk about these things and add some ...in SPAAACE! flavor than Chris Carlson and Chris Weuve? (We havent talked about naming and typing in a while, so this is as good an excuse as any...)
NOTE: Were specifically staying away from the most of the politics of the subject. It just gets in the way of talking about spaceships.
STARFLEET TACTICAL is the YouTube show where we talk about the intersection of naval history and science fiction, with some gaming occasionally thrown in for flavor. Primary host Chris Weuve is a naval analyst and wargame designer, whose superpower is that he can talk about Real World(tm) navies and science fiction navies at the same time.

Starfleet Tactical #185: How Many Ships to Keep One Forward? [07 Feb 2026@9pmET]
[Yes were doing a show this week once again, the weather is not cooperating!]
Ships do lots of things that arent fighting wars and conducting presence operations they train, they undergo routine maintenance, they have deep overhauls, et cetera. Early in their careers, US Navy force planners early on learn carrier math, the calculations that answer the question how many carriers do we need to own in order to have one carrier deployed?
Lets take a shot at inventing starship match. Well focus on the assumptions relatvant to Starfleet, but well look at other assumptions, too.

Starfleet Tactical #192: Naval Infrastructure [09 May 2026 @9pmET]
Fleets arent just about ships they are supported by facilities ashore: Shipyards, docks, supply centers and the like. And as fleets change, the facilities need to change, either because they need new capabilities, or because the new bigger ships no longer fit. Inspired by both an interesting video by Drachinifel [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV0yCuypIdo ] and a dozen other videos on Starfleets Spacedock, Chris takes a look at naval infrastructure in fact and fiction.
