Did John McCain arrange for US taxpayers to pay for it?

The
Wiki says a CODOG powerplant with a 8000hp diesel and 2 x 29000kp gas turbines.
18 kts on the diesel sounds right. But only 28 for a 2000ton ship with 58,000? Those are tonnage/power figures for a pre WW2 destroyer (mid 30s).
I would suspect only one 29,000 gas turbine for 28 kts.
If they replace it with a second diesel for 16000hp total, low 20s is about right.

Vietnam had been at war with 3 of the 5 big military powers of the world. France, US and China. If any country in the world knows what it means to fight big powers, its Vietnam.

The last time they “concocted” a tactic they beat a couple of superpowers.

Vietnam was lost under Nixon’s watch. Fall of Saigon happened under Ford. It would have made little difference on the outcome of the war whether republicans or democrats were running it. My point is whatever Vietnam’s strategy was, it worked.

Vietnam had no strategy... nor does/did the North Koreans.. ALL strategy in that area comes from China..

Quite the contrary they had a far superior strategy then US. Its didn't come from China, rather China got a taste of it in 1979. If you are Vietnam, you don't beat military giants like the Japanese, French, US and Chinese by not having a strategy.

China supplied (with the russians) the vietnam war.. as they both did the Korean War.. All strategy.. came from China.. as it does NOW.. Russia and China are now and have been unified.. Who is on top!?.. Neither... they are unified... as is world socialism all over this planet.. The socialists have always wanted world socialism NOT chinese socialism..
The useful idiots have become the Muslims.. World socialism has no problem with liquidating a few billion muslims.. or anybody else..

There is a vast difference between supplying weapons and “supplying strategy”. Besides Vietnam's number 1 enemy is China and they are building up their navy against them.
World socialism, Chinese Socialism, Muslims? Russia and China unified? I don't know what you are even talking about.
