Thanks, I've seen various numbers, not sure which ones should apply:

Of those, as you posted, just 234 are "commissioned", the rest non-commissioned (105), ready-reserve (51) and other support ships (50).
Non-commissioned ships include such as USNS Spearhead class, and Mercy class hospital ships:

I would go with the 234 commissioned number. PE Trump said he wants a 350 ship Navy. I am guessing that he does not intend to get there by scrapping 90 ships.
