Nice boat. Now, can the Army trust the Navy to escort it and keep this high-value target from eating a shore-launched cruise missle or taking a 300-knot Russian torpedo launched from a 3rd-hand Dutch diesel sub?

I have my doubts. When you think about it, if the Navy trusted the Army there would be no Marine Corps, and if the Army trusted the Navy there would be no ships in the Army.
