You know nothing of the requirements to keep sea lanes open, or the consequences of regional control by bad actors.

So enlighten me. How many more aircraft carriers, how many more cruisers, how many more submarines do we need?

[ExpatGator]

In today’s geopolitical environment, we should be at double what we are now, although not on carriers or even cruisers/destroyers. Littoral craft, minesweepers, fast attack subs, amphibs, LCACs, riverine patrol craft and supply vessels are what we need to strengthen numbers in the most. Oh, we really need many more anti-submarine patrol aircraft and helos for the cruisers and destroyers.
Of course, with your great knowledge, you already knew all of that......
