So what! the Navy now has 3-pregnant sailors to every 10 males and 10 gays or lesbians to every 50 sailors...
Let's see the chicoms mess with them...

If we had light carriers, cruiser carriers, escort carriers, cruisers and destroyers with guns and torpedoes, not just rockets, the Chinese would have a fight on their hands. With today’s automation they could be staffed at 1/4 the rate of the old ships.

So simple math suggests that all but 13 admirals should be involuntarily retired.

One of the cuts in the military I would like to see is a 50% cut across the board in Flag officers. There are a lot of REMFs making work and squandering money justifying their existence with worthless projects.

Too many chiefs for what?
For peacetime, sure, but in the event of major war they would all be needed.
I think that's the idea and it applies to the other services as well.
In major emergencies leadership is the scarcest resource.

The problem may not be too many admirals, but too few ships.
In the 2nd WW, we had more *types* of ships than we have ships today. The ARMY had more ships than the navy does today.
The strategy of having large (supposedly hard to sink), multicapable (and therefore expensive), but fewer ships (because they are so expensive), may not have been the optimal plan, after all.
