Star Trek: Strange New Worlds returns on July 17
The third season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds finally drops on July 17. It's been around two years since the Paramount+ exclusive was last on the air. It's a two-episode premiere, so that's something. We've already gotten a juicy trailer for the upcoming season and Paramount+ just unveiled a cool poster to advertise the release date. It shows all of the main characters wandering through, well, a strange new world. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. For the uninitiated, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds follows Captain Christopher Pike and the crew of the USS Enterprise. This is the very same Enterprise that will one day be captained by James Kirk. It's a prequel, so there are new actors playing franchise legends like Spock, Uhura and Nurse Chapel. Of course, as the show gets closer to the events of The Original Series , more familiar characters have been popping up. Kirk has been all over the place and the same goes for Scotty. We've even gotten Sybok, Spock's half-brother who will one day lead the crew on a search to find God in the critically-reviled Star Trek V: The Final Frontier . To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. It's a neat show, with a mystery-of-the-week format that recalls classic Trek. Season two ended on a cliffhanger, so it'll be interesting to see how that shakes out. Season three of Strange New Worlds looks to include a visit to the 1960s version of Star Trek, complete with period-accurate costumes and sets, and a murder-mystery set in the Holodeck (or something similar.)

European Navies Leave the U.S. High and Dry
As an intelligence officer aboard the USS Enterprise in April 1988, I helped plan Operation Praying Mantis, the biggest U.S. Navy battle since World War II. Afterward I flew to the French carrier Clemenceau to brief their admiral on the destruction we had rained down on the Iranian Navy. Not much has changed ('Down Go the Houthis?,' Review & Outlook, May 7). They and other European ships in the area sat out that fight, as they continue to do now. There are 178 U.S.-flagged cargo ships—or less than 1% of worldwide shipping—and few pass through the Red Sea. Several thousands more fly European Union flags, and many of them sail near Yemen. France, Britain, Italy and Spain all have aircraft carriers. France has a base in Djibouti, 400 miles from the Houthis. Why does it fall to the U.S. Navy to deal with these threats on our own? U.S. sailors are being stretched to the limit—witness the recent loss of two USS Truman fighters. Our European 'allies' need to step up. Play fair and do your share.
