China and Russia have dramatically accelerated their naval shipbuilding and modernization programs in recent years, while the U.S. has struggled to improve its own capacity for warfighting missions and been tagged with a poor readiness rating from national security analysts. The Chinese have made particularly notable strides, engaging in a maritime buildup that made global headlines a year ago when Pentagon officials sounded the alarm that Beijing’s total fleet roughly 350 warships had surpassed the roughly 300 maintained by Washington.(Snip)“They’ve got a lot of shipyards and a lot of capacity,” says Brent Sadler, a retired U.S. naval officer and analyst with the Heritage Foundation. “They’re building lots of ships.”

What's the sense in building ships if you don't have the men to sail on them?

We do have a vegetable in the WH who will only listen to Milley Vanilly ,Idi Amin Austin and know nothing blinken blanken, who are about as clueless as the first vege. Milley might make a call to his BFF the Chinese Commie general and ask what we should do in the US. Now that will set things right!

We are providing free hotels for the world. There is no money for shipbuilding.

First, let's fire all the workers if they are not vaccinated. That will really help.

In any real war normal surface ships can tracked by satellite and would be easy targets probably taken out in the first few days. Our fewer new ships are stealth which as with air planes, is a force multiplier.

Naval brass nowadays are more interested in being stooges for FJB and building 'woke' ships than confronting the Chinese. Lets Go Brandon

If our Navy would stop wasting money on rubbish, and stop having ships burned out or damaged by collisions...maybe the British, Aussies and Taipei Chinese would like to pitch in a bit deeper, too.

Dems will NOT permit it. Trillions for handouts to illegal aliens but nothing for our defense.
And anyway, the fools with stars on their shoulders in place now won't be able to order, or operate effective designs.
My niece, a USMC officer's wife, told my on video link last night from Japan that she knew several LTCOLs with 17 and 18 years service who were being tossed out for not taking the vaccine.
They are literally destroying the military, and our emergency services folks with this Death Lottery Shot.

Tossing out the good men is a great way to degrade the entire miliary.
Men and women who are smart enough not to buy a lottery ticket on health problems being sold as a "vaccine" are being drummed out. So...short on troops, and some of our best and brightest unwilling to compromise to take The Shot being fired.
Yep, Traitor Joe is doing the bidding of the ChiComs and Rooskies. Dismantling our armed forces, as ordered.

Agree with all the above posters. Why build new ships when the OOD will crash them into another ship with loss of life then we have two ships written off because they have been turned into hulks due to fire.
But what the hay, tops in world in diversity and stabbing our allies in the back. That's what counts.

They must speed up flooding the country with illegals in order to have a permanent majority voting block in elections. The military will close down soon due to vax mandates. No one wants it and they will lose their job rather than getting the jab.

You could build them ships and weapons systems five generations more advanced than the most advanced current technology, and with nothing but woke leftist homos and trannies 'manning' them, and 0bamanoid chicom agents like Austin and Milley giving orders from the Pentagon, they might as well be using log rafts and throwing pointy sticks at our enemies.

This won't happen with Joey at the helm. He's beholden to China and he hates the military anyway, as do all commie demonrats.

If we built those ships, #15, Medals Milley would just pick up the phone to his good commie buddies in China, and arrange to send the technical details to them before the hull ever touched seawater.

The mission of the USA is to combat climate change and White supremacy in all its forms, to promote LGBTQ+, and to import the world's huddled masses and provide them with first-world accommodations courtesy of the taxpayer. Funding a military on top of this would break the bank, which is probably the idea, the same way the Soviet Union collapsed, but in reverse, with us adopting Marxism in full.
