Very good presentation of the value of CONOPS. Well done Bill. I do miss the 1 on 1 discussions we once had on this and other topics!

Nice comment THJ, I have experienced how DEI works against all components of well executed CONOPS, with discipline seeing a severe negative impact.

For whatever reason, my brain took me to a thought exercise on the benefits society would reap if the legislative and executive branches of government were required to do a CONOPS before any new regulation or law was thrust upon the unsuspecting public. A person can dream, right?

Any ship without urinals is doomed, it has been designed for political comfort instead of combat power.

Did the USS District of Columbia (SSBN-826), have eight missile tubes deleted all for the comfort of women and effeminate men?

I remember reading something about Spanish ships from 1898, having been designed for officer comfort, over combat power, giving American ships an advantage?

Can CONOPS work in this age of Diversity? It seems like it would have worked during the COLD war, with more discipline and sense of duty.
