Currently ships are very vulnerable. From subs, jets, missiles, and drones. That money is better spent elsewhere.

China’s PLAN loves you!!! There are lots of hungry & homeless - send the money to them instead, right?
A hightly trained spec ops troop is highly vunerable to cheap supersonic weapons that only cost .50 per round!!! They are called bullets. EVERY military unit is vulnerable. They call it war.
evidently I wasn’t clear. I meant that a ship is very expensive and the military could use that money for other things that wouldn’t take so long to construct and would be less vunerable to destruction.
