If you say we need these, I say let’s get at least fifty of them.

24 would be a better number, but even 18, coupled wioth the 56 AEGIS destroyers, would allow ua a LOT of capability and latitude, particularly oif we go ahead and build sixty LCS vessels.

The fear is, that the current CG-21 proposal will be so expensive, that ouyr congress critters will do to it what they are doing to the DD-21 program...limiting it to eight or so vessels. We cannot afford that at all.
