“1. It is going to cost them a ton of money that they could use for something much more dangerous
2. They dont know how to support and maintain these ships
3. They dont know how to defend them
4. They dont have the training to run them
5. They dont know how to use them”
additionally theu don’t do underway replenishment which is why they are “helping” build ports arouns westpac and the indian ocean much like british coaling stations post american civil war. also everywhere they go they are in range of land-based aircraft and shore-launched SSMs so they better have a good escort fleet w/ strong AAW and ASW.
And all their sailors have their hair in pigtails.
