Is the U.S. Navy Dying a Slow Death?

When I read the referenced article and consider the DOD budget, the reason for our problems are easily identified. Our mission has expanded without the appropriate increases in funding.

The mission of the Navy is to maintain, train and equip combat-ready Naval forces capable of winning wars, deterring aggression and maintaining freedom of the seas.

PO1 Tony Holland Congress doesn't quite emulate the three monkeys. The monkeys are covering their eyes, mouth an ears respectively. Congress covers all three in one shot by having their head up their ass.

When the Navy is asked to do all the missions it is required, and only give it the manning, training, and budget to partially do one, then yes, something will fail. Look at how old and mostly outdated the CG's are, and that is jus the tip of the problem. My 2 cents... Have a great day all!
