In late September 2026, Huntington Ingalls Industries' Newport News Shipbuilding division secured a US$5.10 billion contract to conduct the refueling and complex overhaul of USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75), while also advancing carrier programs and expanding unmanned production capacity across its U.S. facilities.
Together with the Navy order for 10 ROMULUS unmanned surface vessels and the Pocasset unmanned systems campus expansion, these developments highlight how HII is tying long-duration carrier work to growing autonomous maritime capabilities within its Mission Technologies division.
We'll now examine how the Truman overhaul award, alongside new ROMULUS unmanned vessel production, could influence Huntington Ingalls Industries' investment narrative.
Rare earth metals are an input to most high-tech devices, military and defence systems and electric vehicles. The global race is on to secure supply of these critical minerals. Beat the pack to uncover the 33 best rare earth metal stocks of the very few that mine this essential strategic resource.
To own Huntington Ingalls Industries, you need to believe that its multi decade carrier, submarine and unmanned systems backlog can be converted into steadier margins and free cash flow despite current back end loaded cash expectations. The Truman refueling and complex overhaul award reinforces that backlog, but does not remove the near term risk that 2026 free cash flow could miss if contract advances or tax benefits arrive later or smaller than management hopes.

In a bit of a surprise move with the regular season winding down, the Mets have placed outfielder Luis Robert Jr. on waivers, SNY MLB Insider Chelsea Janes confirmed.
If Robert were to be claimed by another team, they would pick up the remainder of his contract. But it is not guaranteed that he will be claimed. Saturday is also the last day you can take someone on waivers and have them be postseason eligible
Robert has a team option worth $20 million for the 2027 season, making it unlikely the Mets were going to pick it up. Robert also has about $3 million remaining on his 2026 salary and a $2 million buyout for the 2027 option, MLB.com's Anthony Dicomo notes.
The 29-year-old has a had a rough first season with New York after being acquired in January from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for Luisangel Acuña and RHP Truman Pauley.
Injuries continued to be a problem for him, as he landed on the 60-day IL at the end of April with lumbar spine disc herniation and didn't return until July 20.

DHAKA, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Bangladesh could consider joining the Mecca pact, a mutual defence agreement signed this month between Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan, a minister said, a move that could complicate its foreign relations, particularly with neighbouring India.
Ties have been strained as Bangladesh accused Indian border forces of forcibly pushing in people while it seeks extradition of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who has lived in exile in India since her ouster in a protest movement in August 2024.
"If there is a security arrangement among Islamic nations in the Middle East, it is not unusual for us to consider participating. It is being viewed positively," said junior foreign minister Humayun Kabir.
"They are inviting the leadership of Bangladesh, particularly Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, to come and participate," he told reporters on Monday.

USC football enters a pivotal and defining season in the Lincoln Riley era. The 2026 campaign can be reduced to a simple question: "If not now, when?" When will Riley get over the hump, if he ever does? This might be his last chance. The man who likely holds the biggest key to Riley's fate is Gary Patterson, but a very close second - arguably just as important as Patterson if you want to argue the case - is strength coach Trumain Carroll.
We can all appreciate the importance of Trumain Carroll on a general level. Bennie Wylie wasn't good enough as strength coach. USC needed an upgrade at that position on staff. Carroll was Lincoln Riley's answer. Carroll was hired late in the 2025 offseason cycle, so last season could never have been used as a real gauge of how good he really is. The 2026 season will give us a much better answer - maybe not a complete one, but surely a fuller one.
The more specific and urgent way to express how significant this season is for Trumain Carroll is as follows: He gets a chance to implement a strength program so good, so airtight, so successful that it can overturn Lincoln Riley's deserved reputation for coaching and cultivating soft teams which get beaten up by elite opponents. Riley's early success at Oklahoma came from the work of a previous strength coach who served under Bob Stoops, the head coach who hired Riley as offensive coordinator before stepping down and handing Riley the keys to the Sooner program. Riley eventually hired Bennie Wylie to replace that other strength coach. Oklahoma steadily got weaker as Riley's OU tenure continued. Wylie them came to USC and didn't deliver the goods.
Trumain Carroll has a chance to wipe away the Bennie Wylie years and give Riley - and USC - a tough identity it hasn't had for quite some time. That's where Trumain Carroll can make a lasting difference for the Trojans.

If Yasir Al-Rumayyan, governor of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), was looking for a reason to pull its money out of the LIV Golf tour, he reportedly found it in Sergio Garcia's outburst at the Masters in April.
That's the claim in Friday's edition of The Financial Times.
"In April, as LIV golfers floundered at the Masters, golf's most prestigious tournament, Spanish star Sergio Garcia damaged the Augusta National course during a fit of rage in the final round," read the Times. "People familiar with the matter say Rumayyan's embarrassment at the sequence of events helped lead to his decision to pull the plug on PIF's financing of the rival tour, as the fund focuses more on its huge domestic commitments in the kingdom."
Now, one's first thought is likely that many factors led the PIF to pull its funding from LIV, which has consistently lost money amid poor ratings and bad PR since its brief moment in the sun. However, when you look at the timing of everything, it kinda checks out.
Garcia's meltdown, which included him slamming his driver in frustration, tearing out chunks of grass, and breaking it against a cooler, took place on Sunday, April 12, the final day of the 2026 Masters.

Few, if any, movie stars achieve the level of celebrity of Paul Newman without good fortune. No one recognized that more than the screen legend himself.
Newman's luck did not begin with his three-year stint in the U.S. Navy during World War II. He understood during his years in the Pacific (and then in Hollywood) that fate fell in his favor more than once.
Also Read: Why it took 2 decades for 'Patton' to make it to the big screen
While serving his country, forces beyond his control likely saved Newman's life. If a pilot in his squadron hadn't come down with an ear issue, Newman might have died at Okinawa—one of the bloodiest battles in military history. Then Newman was supposed to take part in the invasion of mainland ***** an. Dubbed Operation Downfall, Allied commanders called it off after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Newman, who died on September 26, 2008, at the age of 83, admittedly didn't fully consider the potential consequences when he enlisted.
"I thought it would be a big adventure," Newman said of joining the military during wartime. "I was really dumb. I never considered that it might be dangerous."
Academy Award-winning actor Paul Newman served in the Navy for 3 years. (U.S. Navy illustration/Peggy Frierson)
Born on January 26, 1925, in Ohio, Newman was in his first year at Ohio University when he dropped out. Newman signed up for the Navy with the intent of becoming a pilot. He never made it to the ***** pit after a supposedly routine exam revealed he was colorblind.
Newman pivoted from that diagnosis and began training as a rear gunner and radioman for Grumman TBF Avenger torpedo bombers. In the Pacific, the Navy ***** igned Newman to squadrons that trained air crews and pilots. After a stint as a turret gunner, the plan was for Newman and his squadron to meet up with the USS Bunker Hill, an aircraft carrier stationed near the shore of Okinawa.
They never made it that far after their pilot wasn't medically cleared to fly. That turned out to be a likely life-saver after the ***** anese unleashed kamikaze attacks on the USS Bunker Hill on May 11, 1945. Nearly 400 men on the carrier died, with 264 more wounded.
It wasn't the only time that Newman, then only 20 years old, skirted death during the war. He did it again a few months later. When the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, Newman was on an aircraft carrier several hundred miles from ***** an. Three days later, another bomb destroyed Nagasaki.
Approximately 214,000 ***** anese citizens, including roughly 38,000 children, died in the attacks, per the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN). Those numbers don't include those who were maimed. While President Harry S. Truman's decision remains a source of debate, but Newman didn't question it.
"I know all of the controversy about those weapons," Newman said. "But I'm one of those guys who says, 'Thank God for the atomic bomb,' because it pro

England cyclist Joseph Truman won silver in a record-breaking men's 1,000m time trial at the Commonwealth Games.
Truman put in a solid ride throughout but he couldn't beat the speed of Australian Leigh Hoffman, who broke the Commonwealth Games record with a stunning time of 58.530 seconds.
England team-mate Harry Ledingham-Horn, who had topped the standings after 11 riders with a time of 1:00.039, was pushed out of the medals to fourth.
He was beaten to the bronze by just over 40 seconds by Australian Tayte Ryan, who also beat the Englishman to the third-placed medal in the men's sprint.
Meanwhile, Hamish Turnbull got off to a quick start, clocking the third quickest opening 250m with a time of 18.637, but his speed began to drop off to leave him down in eighth.

Professional Fighters League's return to UBS Arena in LongIsland, New York, was punctuated by a majestic performance in themain event.
The PFL New York headliner saw current 155-pound ***** leholderUsmanNurmagomedov (22-0, 1 NC; 4-0 PFL) defend his championshipagainst ArchieColgan (13-1, 2-1 PFL). After a feeling-out couple of minutesin the center of the cage, Nurmagomedov connected with a head kickon his opponent's temple before following up with a big left handthat dropped Colgan. Shortly after the American managed torecompose himself and get back to his feet, Nurmagomedov followedup with more uppercuts that sent "King" to his knees. Smellingblood, the Dagestani landed more punches before referee KeithPeterson waved it off at the 3:42 mark of Round 1. In hispost-fight interview, Nurmagomedov was noncommittal about hisfuture in the promotion, since Friday's fight was the last on hiscurrent contract.
In the co-main event, DakotaDitcheva (16-0, 11-0 PFL) made a successful return from ayear-long injury hiatus, taking on former BellatorMMA ***** le challenger DeniseKielholtz (9-6, 1-1 PFL). "Dangerous" showed no cage rust,combining clean, sharp striking with effective takedowns, puttingany concerns about the injured hand to rest. Ditcheva made the mostof her reach, attacking from range with front kicks to the head andmidsection, while Kielholtz answered with a few spinning attacksbut overall posed little threat. The pace slowed in the thirdframe, drawing scattered boos as Ditcheva went the distance for thethird time in her otherwise finish-heavy career. When the dustsettled, all three judges scored it 30-27 for Ditcheva.
In a 157-pound catchweight tilt, AmruMagomedov (10-0, 2-0 PFL) kept his record unblemished byovercoming AngelAlvarez (11-3, 1-1 PFL).

India finally ended their seven-match winless run under captain Shreyas Iyer, defeating Zimbabwe by seven wickets in the first T20I at Harare on Thursday. The match also witnessed teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi script history by becoming the youngest player to score a T20I half-century.
After winning the toss, Iyer opted to bowl first, and India's pace attack justified the decision with a clinical performance.
Returning to international cricket for the first time since October 2024 after recovering from a stress fracture, Mayank Yadav made an immediate impact. The express pacer dismissed Brian Bennett with the very first ball of the match before removing Dion Myers, consistently clocking speeds in excess of 145 kmph.
Zimbabwe were reduced to 26/3 inside the powerplay and slipped further to 32/4 after Shivam Dube dismissed captain Sikandar Raza.
A fighting partnership between Wessly Madhevere (39) and Ryan Burl (26), along with an unbeaten 27 off 20 from Tadiwanashe Marumani, helped the hosts recover to 125/7 in their allotted 20 overs. Debutant Ashok Sharma recovered well after an expensive first over, while Ravi Bishnoi bowled economically to finish with 1/24.
Chasing 126, India suffered an early setback when Abhishek Sharma was dismissed for just 1. However, it proved to be Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's day.
The 15-year-old prodigy unleashed a breathtaking ****** ault, smashing 50 off just 19 ****** with four fours and four sixes. In the process, he became the youngest player ever to score a T20I half-century, putting India firmly in control of the chase before falling immediately after reaching his milestone.
Captain Shreyas Iyer anchored the innings with an unbeaten 28 off 24 ****** , while Ishan Kishan chipped in with a quick 35 off 24. Tilak Varma struck the winning runs as India completed the chase comfortably with seven wickets in hand.
For Zimbabwe, Blessing Muzarabani was the pick of the bowlers with two wickets, dismissing Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan, while Richard Ngarava claimed the prized scalp of Sooryavanshi.
The victory marked Shreyas Iyer's first win as India's T20I captain, ending a frustrating seven-match winless streak that included the tours of Ireland and England, while Sooryavanshi's record-breaking knock stole the headlines in Harare.

RJ Sermons is a young defensive player who is generating a lot of buzz this offseason at USC. There was excitement for him last season, but he never got to show much on the field. This season, he could be looked at as one of the young bright spots on the defense.
In a recent article, Kendell Hollowell provides insight on a player who is a sleeping giant on the USC Trojans defense. Here is what he had to say about cornerback RJ Sermons:
"Long, athletic and technically sound. Three key characteristics in a cornerback and how you would describe redshirt freshman cornerback RJ Sermons.
When Sermons reclassified last May and enrolled at USC later that summer, the plan was clear. Instead of playing his senior year at Rancho Cucamonga (Calif.), the former five-star recruit would spend the 2025 season developing behind the scenes with cornerbacks coach Trovon Reed and strength and conditioning coach Trumain Carroll.
The Trojans kept him involved by having him travel for every road game and go through the normal routine as any other player, even though he never took a single snap. Fast forward and those efforts have paid dividends for the 6-1, 195-pound Sermons."
