Project 33: The U.S. Navy’s Plan to Beat China in a War?

Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Lisa Franchetti is fantastic. She is the first woman to be CNO and the first woman to serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Franchetti displays a soft touch when caring for individual sailors and their families and a unique toughness in naval warfighting. This is the correct combination of traits necessary to address future threats to the Navy, especially as the maritime branch ponders what to do about China.

Now, Franchetti has overseen the development of a new maritime strategy to counteract Beijing’s efforts to dominate the United States in the Indo-Pacific. Dubbed by some as “Project 33,” it is a starting point for using future trends in warfare to ensure the Navy comes out on top during any conflict with the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) by 2027.

Admiral Lisa with her crew of menaposal men, high heeled boys, and skirt wearing fellas is gonna do what now? (Note, there are still loads of normal tough fighting men in the navy, but there is no denying that our military is becoming very very woke while the rest of the world soldiers on as they laugh at us. Wasn’t it china that recently borded a navy ship and made the so,diers kneel in submission under obamalama? Ehat was that all about?)

This article is pathetic. I mean, it is seriously brainless.

It does not address the biggest issues, such as surface ships becoming ever closer to being sitting ducks, our limited supply of missiles that each ship can carry aboard, our limited supply of missiles overall and inability to scale up production quickly and enough, our dismal capability to refuel and rearm ships afloat (see the Big Horn grouding) and our refusal to move on from outdated concepts like building the Navy around carriers. Instead, it focuses on Admiralette Lisa being kindly towards sailors. That’s all well and good but won’t do much to stop a hypersonic anti-ship missile, or a barrage of them.

Just let the fleets patrol as usual. They have a habit of not having watches, etc., that make the girls 'uncomfortable'.

Sooner or later they will collide with Chinese ships.

[Sirius Lee]

I hope I don't get in trouble for leaking our woke navy's top secret plan. Well, here it is:

[central_va]

thousands of ballistic, cruise and now hypersonic missiles ready to take out U.S. bases and naval assets quickly.

That would be an unprovoked Pearl Harbor type attack. You only get one of those per world war.

The Department of Defense is basically a massive welfare program for white people.

Not any more. They went woke.

WHAT A STEAMING LOAD OF BULL CRAP.

This Affirmative Action hire can make sure Transgender Entertainers get first recruiting spots in campaigns, but keeping an oiler from running aground, or planning for a backup if it does is not in her "wheelhouse".

Makes me want to spit.

[meatloaf]

That’s planning for failure.

Aircraft carriers are obsolete.

Given that the Navy is doesn’t know that. they’ll lose when someone does a Ukraine.

[Secret Agent Man]

Shes a woman.

[Secret Agent Man]

Personally I thought this is just a DEI fluff piece for her.

[central_va]

Aircraft carriers are NOT obsolete.

[ClearCase_guy]

I’m not a biologist.

[central_va]

So Naval genious should we just scuttle our entire CVN fleet? That's what you're saying. If we ask the Chinese if it would be a good thing for the USN to get rid of all CVNs what would they say?

[PIF]

She just adores DEI, social justice, climate change, transsexuals, bisexuals, homosexuals, lesbians, furrys. Abhors long hours, hates all things naval, gets seasick easily, hates Trump & MAGAs.

[Jan_Sobieski]

I have a strategy…

1. triple our transgender training and surgeries
2. Open our borders
3. Pour all our money into Fighting for other 3rd world country borders
4. Print money like monopoly!

[PIF]

Here she is standing next to a 5'6' sailor:

The plan is to drink lots of Rolling Rock Beer.

I believe ‘white people’ are the minority in the military. Unless you mean the defense contractors.

[ro_dreaming]

Project 33. Sounds ominous.

Well, it’s half as bad as ‘Order 66’ (from Star Wars).

[wny]

yeah....but we have a gender-neutral submarine!
