Have you ever wondered how big the United States Navy actually is?

The amount of power here is incredible.

This chart shows just how massive the US Navy is

The US has the globe's dominant naval force.

When I started, it was with the Navy. I know the power, and the footprint across the world. It is impressive.

SPC Elijah J. Henry, MBA Impressive indeed. When I was on the USS wichita, we refueled both the USS Missouri and USS Enterprise in one day, and I remember thinking to myself that those two ships alone could end whole countries.

obviously not big enough according to the GOP! They want 350 ships!

Looks about as I suspected from the chart. I was surprised though by just how small the ships themselves are. I had imagined them as being much larger prior to seeing them firsthand, but I suppose smaller is more impressive assuming unchanged firepower.

Nowhere near as big as Ronny Ray-Guns. 600 ship navy with about 18/19 carriers. I think when all was said and done he got 589-599 ships. I don't think we need that anymore and we definitely can't afford it. Oh I remember the day when we had an Ubber Navy.

But due to poorly chosen budget cuts and force cuts, the Navy is far too small for such a big planet...

With great power comes great responsibility.

Still smaller than she is...yes I know I'm wrong as hell though.

Did anyone else see the burn mark on the side of the USS Cole?
