Ships colliding with each other, pregnancy leaves, and the same woke cancer that has infected the rest of the military. Good thing my dad isn't around to see what's become of his Navy.
We could easily tip the balance of power back to us in the Pacific but their is no interest in it from the Pentagon. The simple solution: Heavily armed Corvettes like the Israelis use...16 VLS, 16 more harpoon launchers, ASW capabilities, even a helo deck. Keep these distributed amongst the friendlies.... the Navy hares small ships.
