I think I have to agree with her. If we decommission ships faster than we build them, the Navy tends to shrink.

“Lawmakers Probe Navy’s Plan to Decommission Cruisers, Navy Says Cuts Will Save $5B Across FYDP”

Great. Then they can use that $5B for more of Biden’s “infrastructure” program ... i.e. bail out more Democratic ran bankrupt cities.

Our de facto chicom masters have issued orders to Joepedo to decommission lots of ships in order to get the U.S. out of their territory... The entire South Pacific...

Definitely, to me, sounds very familiar...
I feel like we are reliving the 1930’s all over again...
Been there... Don’t like being there again...

Perhaps it is part of their plan to keep financing their super expensive toys which are mostly failures, and because they simply cannot recruit enough men to fill the slots. The shrinkage is deliberate ...

The navy wastes massive amounts of money on woke BLM communist indoctrination, they wasted money on the idiotic Zumwalt destroyers, they wasted money persecuting and prosecuting Eddy Gallagher, they wasted massive amounts of money dumping rewinged and brand new A6Es so they could buy stealth junk. The Littoral “combat” ships are a national embarrassment.

These two congressmen were correct.

Transgender surgeries are more important than national security.

Get with the program, racist homophobes!

That money urgently needs to be spent on gender-reassignment surgeries.

I’m all for shrinking the number of ships because there are MANY sex change surgeries that need to be performed. Without those surgeries, our naval forces will be woefully unprepared for battle. Mothballing those ships will free up money for the important work of sex change.

One look at the Navy Decommissioning list is truly sad -

15 ships, including 7 Cruisers in 2022.

48 ships total by 2026, including USS NIMITZ.

The very real threat today is China. We need a USN that can handle that threat. A great Navy projects power and is vital to American security and our allies. I know the Pentagon war games. I wonder how we come out in many scenarios? Politically,I think Biden would blink like the dolt that he is. In a naval war with this USN vs the Chicoms,I am worried.

If they’re being “manned” by tranies, what good are they?

I image China could be talked into paying for the upgrades and give the Navy another $10B to lease those seven cruisers.
