the navy ... has a plan to take over the largest land mass in the world?
pardon me for being a tad skeptical
The way I sees it-—and feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
1. We need a world class Yacht for the President to do deals and meetings on-—armed too.
2. We need a Tall ship for the Cadets at Anapolis like other nations have—we are laging behind.
3. We need a powerful rail gun battleship or two.
4. We need some small Drone launching fast carriers maybe three or four—
5. More subs too—at least a dozen non-nuclear hunter killers—like other nations have. Deep divers too.
6. A few troop transports as well. As well as Cargo ships to re-supply the fleet at sea.
7. Maybe a gunned cruiser with 8 inch guns to serve as shore bombardment vessels—with lots of anti-aircraft ability.
Have I missed anything???
This Plan—long worked on will not last a week in a real Naval War—even a moderate power could give us fits. If we had to face Russia/China we would be hard pressed without help from Japan/India. Lets pray we never have to find out. What will Metrosexual American young men and women do when they seen a US Carrier roll over and take 1,000s of service men and woman to Davy Jones Locker? What would Obama do? Go to the UN and file a complaint? My bet he would hide in his bunker and do zip.
Nothing happens until we stop squandering our resources in the Mideast.
