The Navy is headed for 180 ships already. That trend will not be reversed. It’s time to either adopt or forget this Convention. There is nothing out there worth mining anyway. The USA cannot dominate the high seas anymore and won’t try. We have $20 trillion of debt or $50 trillion depending how you count obligations and can’t afford much more of this foolishness. The Bubble is not just real estate or Dot.coms or tulip bulbs or the Missisippi. Get real.
