When I was a little nipper in Long Beach in the late 40s early 50s when the “fleet was in” the whole harbor was filled with warships. Of course the Long Beach Navy base and Shipyard are long gone now.
While I realize that today’s fleet is much more capable and powerful, the fact is that 260 ships cannot be in as many places as the fleet of 1945 could be. I find it odd that 150,000,000 Americans in 1950 were able to man and pay for the fleet of their time, but the 330,000,000 Americans today can only afford to pay for and man today’s fleet.

I live on the east/west axis of McGuire AFB here in southern Jersey. Been a pretty fair amount of traffic heading outbound towards the Atlantic during the last month.

Aarrghhhhh. If you don’t know the Navy’s current logistical capabilities how can you be “sure” it needs significant rebuilding???

Because the current state of the military is dismal and the logistical corps is no exception.
To what degree it needs to be rebuilt, in relation to the size and capabilities of the fleet I am uncertain.
