Official statements confirm Danish Arctic Command has carried out a medical evacuation from a U.S. Navy nuclear-powered attack submarine operating near Greenland.
Denmark’s Joint Arctic Command (Arktisk Kommando) announced that a crew member from an American submarine required urgent medical treatment and was airlifted approximately seven nautical miles off Nuuk, within Greenland’s territorial waters. The evacuation was conducted using a Danish Defence MH-60R Seahawk helicopter, deployed from a Royal Danish Navy inspection vessel. The sailor was transferred to Greenlandic health authorities and admitted to hospital in Nuuk. No further details have been released regarding the individual’s condition.
The U.S. submarine involved has been identified as USS Delaware (SSN-791), a Virginia-class fast attack submarine homeported in Groton, Connecticut. Commissioned in April 2020, Delaware is one of the U.S. Navy’s most modern nuclear-powered attack submarines. The Virginia class displaces around 7,800 tonnes and measures approximately 115 metres in length. Powered by a single S9G nuclear reactor driving steam turbines and a pump-jet propulsor, the submarines are designed for sustained global operations with an essentially unlimited operational range. The class is capable of speeds exceeding 25 knots and operates at test depths greater than 800 feet.
With a crew of around 134 personnel, Virginia-class submarines conduct intelligence gathering, anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, strike missions and special operations support. Their deployment in Arctic and North Atlantic waters reflects the increasing strategic focus on the High North.
Joint Arctic Command is Denmark’s primary military authority for Arctic operations, including search and rescue and medical evacuations in Greenlandic waters. The command routinely supports civilian and allied military vessels operating in the region, where harsh weather and remote geography can complicate emergency response.
Once again, Danes saving Americans.
I bet they all felt a bit awkward being rescued by a Danish helicopter that was only their because their boss threatened to invade the country 😂
Someone should ask Stephen miller for a comment
In other news the US ambassador for to Israel just stated on TV that Israel should be able to conquer the entire Middle East region because god gave it to them in the bible and that Palestinians not real and are only arabs that happened to live in the British empire.
I’m sure this will have countries in the region desperate to host US forces “attacking” Iran.
Just after that Steve Witkoff told the press that Trump was shocked that the Iranian’s hadn’t surrendered at the sight of mighty US forces forming up in the Middle East.
Perhaps the Iranian’s realise that with no local basing the US ain’t as powerful as MAGA thinks
You have to feel sorry for the sailors on the USS Ford. That’s ship is on a new “invasion” plan each week.
It’s has moved back and forth across the Atlantic now several times every time Trump falls out with someone.
🇺🇸🫡
It’s having rudder Issues as an Idiot Is at the Helm.
My, my, how jealous can you get? Third rate power UK no longer has any influence in the world. It elects a dishonest, incompetent charlatan in a landslide to make it the laughingstock of the Western World. Its armed forces couldn’t take on Denmark, so its denizens are forced to yap like a toothless lap dog from the sidelines knowing that what they say is totally irrelevant in the real world. Sic transit gloria mundi.
Go on admit it your handler made up that rant didn’t he!😀
Crikey, where did you come from? Whilst this is generally a sensibe and grown-up group, it does sometimes reflect the national trait of sarcasm as well as some dark, military humour. If you’re not familiar with these characteristics, I’d suggest this isn’t the forum for you. Have a better life in one of your own echo chambers.
In the Interests of research, I looked back at historical Articles/posts and found this name from a good ten years back.
Same old Keyboard childish Antics used to this day.
Laughing at the mentality of a person who chooses to act this way on a WW Site.
Used to be so much easier when you could just click on peoples user names.
‘Same old Keyboard childish Antics used to this day.’
Wow, Jim has been around a while.
Just banter, Jim 😘
Harsh but entertainingly fair ! 😁😁😁😱
Disclaimer.
I like Jim, he knows a lot of shit about a lot of shit and treat’s his wife really well.
My wife keeps nagging me for a Remote Hoover now !
Bloody want want want, I got her a good Brush for her birthday, what more has a man got to do ?
I have a list for you if needed. There have been several who surface now and then.
As Dern says, the search history option was gold on this site, so sad it went.
I’ve made a list (fun things to do whilst motorhomeing in the rain !)
JoninMK,(presumed dead)
Herodotus, (Banned for life)
Magenta, (In Rehab)
TH, (Ancient Fossil)
Grinch, (missing in action !)
Captain Pugwash, (Thrown overboard)
Nigel C (Vanished without a trace)
There’s more but I’m still “Trolling” through the history !
What’s your list look like DM ?
Nigel C still contributes to NL
Pugwash has regenerated
JohnMK was absolutely as genuine as a £4 note
You can use ChatGPT to work out the posting history if it is that important.
Hey SB, thanks, I just did a little search on there, lol .
Turns out I’m in the “Regulars Club” with a “dry, often cutting sarcastic style, rarely outright hostile but definately has an edge”.
“A preference for logic over emotion”.
Well blow me 😁😁😁
Add Harold.
And Peder.
Probably same person, different ID, like some others here I suspect.
I’d not include Grinch or Nigel in that list, and certainly not Captain PW, who acted and typed exactly like you do.
Nigel was obsessed with the F35, that’s all.
Not come across Harold or Peder yet, Grinch comes and goes here and there, Nigel was on a lot of topics I’ve seen but not since I joined.(not meaning he had different accounts, just he popped up alot in my searches) Captain PW sounds like a decent sort then, I’ve seen Dots, as in lots of ………. dots.
Are you on NL ? you sound a bit like Billy. I’m not on there at all, just look at times as people here keep mentioning stuff. Duker, Is he here ?
Yes, I got on well with the Captain.
Harold and Peder were like TH, or the same. SWP types, anti British, possibly N Irish on the nationalist side and living in the Bogside or the Creggan….
Nigel got banned years ago for arguing too much with another respected poster here.
I’m not on NL, or anywhere else. And I don’t use fake account names. Only mine.
For instance this is what it comes up with for me.
Could you clarify what you’d like to know or discuss about “Supportive Bloke” on the UK Defence Journal?
If you mean the commenter or contributor known by that handle — Supportive Bloke is a regular participant in the UK Defence Journal comment section. He often provides technically detailed, data-driven, and generally optimistic insights on UK military projects, especially around Royal Navy developments, shipbuilding, and defence procurement.
He’s known for:
Offering knowledgeable explanations on naval systems and engineering matters
Taking a supportive tone toward UK defence capabilities and policies
Engaging respectfully in discussions, often countering overly negative or alarmist opinions
Would you like me to summarise some of his views or notable comments on a specific topic (e.g., Type 26 frigate program, shipbuilding strategy, or UK defence budget)?
Oh, how do you do that ?
I dread to think what It would come up with for my valuable contributions 🤔😱😂
That’s brilliant!
I tried it too, It’s scary but fun too !
You spelt US wrong 😁
How is the weather in Moscow? You guys getting short of food yet?
You literally described the current US administration there!!
Yup, perfectly !
New name for JohninMK?
This from the country that bombs brown folk? Elects senile idiots as Potus? And threatens to invade an ally? Oh, not forgetting breaks international law by abducting a head of state and his wife whilst blowing civvy boats out of the water? Yeah. Murika pew, pew, pew. My gran summed it up after WW2, “oversexed, overpaid and over here”.
Oh, how any arrests has your corrupt regime made over Epstein?….
Someone should show him a map of the middle east circa 1940….
I wonder if it will sail up the Saint Laurence River in the near future to threaten Canada?
Ah yes, The Danish, saving America’s Bacon.
Very good 😂
Thank you, I thought it might have been over done !
I wonder if the sub was there in preparation for a blockade. Ready for a full scale bigly invasion.
Biggest and best invasion ever seen.
Could be why Trumpys sending a big beautiful hospital ship over to Greenland?
I’ve been trying to understand the logical progression from Denmark rescuing a stricken USN sailor to Trump declaring that he’s sending a hospital ship to Greenland to help all the sick people. I’ve failed in my efforts.
Because there is no discernible logical progression? Just as there is no discernible logic to most of the Tangerine King’s pronoucements?
Sending the hospital ship is a politicians syllogism – we must do something, this is something, therefore we must do it!
especially since both hopsital ships the US have are in dry dock lol
there is logic. The orange one cannot tolerate the idea that the USN might need medical and evacuation support from Greenland/ Denmark. It goes against his narrative that they would be better within the USA. So having been ‘exposed’ in his view by this incident, he needs to do something to show that the USA is better at medical care than Greenland is. So he sends a hospital ship to offer medical care to the residents of Greenland. If it is refused, he will spin that as further evidence of the people of Greenland being better off in the USA. If it arrives and has nothing to do, then he still gets to say that he sent it and the story can just go quiet. Either way, he gets to do something to show that USA is all powerful.
Trump only thinks about what he wants in the moment. He always wants to feel more powerful and better than everyone else. Simples really.
It goes with the billionaire/thumb sucking/foot stamping brat that he is.
A significant time after the Danish military airlifted a US sailor from his submarine the mere 7nm to shore in the Nuuk area of Greenland where he is no doubt being treated expertly in a non-profit hospital, Trump suggests sailing a US hospital ship across the Atlantic to give this one man some medical attention, very belatedly.
Apparently no hospital ship is ready to sail and even it it were, it would probably take up to 10 days to get to Greenland, and cost a fortune to do it, and is totally unnecessary.
Trump keeps proving he has lost his marbles.
