What are your thoughts on our shrinking Navy.

We'll regret it. Been here, seen this. Ends poorly and expensively.

No matter the excuse in this article about the rules changing fact is we are down to 9 carriers and many other procurement programs are being deferred as the budget shrinks.

Plus I like the picture in the article of the USS Gunston Hall underway near a pier, was always the best of times when I was her Navigator.
