The New Jersey is in Phily. Wisconsin is in Norfolk. Iowa is north of SFCA...
I don't like Slick one bit. But he had plenty of GOP help to do this including Poppy Bush/Cheney who initially got the ball rolling on wholesale decomms and six years of a GOP majority in both houses under Clinton. You can thank ones like Sen Warner too. I've done the count before and Poppy cost us about as many as Slick. Also Poppy let a carrier or two go which could have been saved. By let go I mean missing S.L.E.P. a mid life overhaul design to see it through the rest of estimated time in service. AMERICA didn't get one and KENNEDY got a botched job due to a yard closure during overhaul IIRC.
We need more ships and more ship builders. We need at least another carrier builder. Only having one is insane. The idea of increasing our forces in the Caribbean is a good one though. We need to re-open Rosie Roads too. Closure was a big mistake IMO.
