The Surface Navy is Dead
- World War II was little more than World War I plus aircraft carriers. By the end of WWII the surface navy was basically dead.
- Our modern navy surface ships are pretty much only useful for rescuing people at sea or bullying crap-hole third world nations that cannot defend themselves. In a real war with a modern military power our ships are little more than expensive sitting ducks for high tech missile target practice.
- But sitting ducks or not, that never stopped the Military Industrial Complex from spending and spending and spending.
The U.S. Navy is planning a substantial expansion of its destroyer fleet in an effort to improve its ability to conduct major maritime warfare operations.
The Navy is hoping to increase its overall battle force inventory to 355 vessels within the next 15 years, according to information Lt. Cmdr. Kevin Chambers shared with Warrior Maven.
Specifically, the Navy wants to add up to 30 new destroyers, 15 littoral combat ships, 18 new frigates and 32 attack submarines.
Of the planned destroyers, 22 are slated to be DDG 51 Flight III and eight for DDG 51 Flight IIA.
