Road to 350: What Does the US Navy Do Anyway?

If Trump's predilection for sympathy toward corrupt leaders being held accountable weren't so obvious, I'd think this was just an exercise in gaslighting. People in Congress and the media need to hold this example up against our actions vs the drug boats as the stark incoherence that it is.

I wonder what this guy from 2016 is doing now...

Imagine if the government and DoD were run by clear eyed adults instead of drunken toddlers? We might have 350 ships.....

Do you think this is more of a Navy problem or a political problem? If I remember correctly, both the LCS and the Zumwalt fiascos were from the Bush administration- Rumsfeld specifically.

The navy problem is a political problem because the navy (and the entire DoD) are inherently political organizations - by design. In an ideal world, they're not partisan organizations (lol), but by the very nature of being run by civilians appointed by elected officials - it's political. All that said, there's a VERY wide differnece between Rumsfeld era dysfunction and whatever this is...

All of the above. You will find plenty of contributors to boneheadedness across the board for all the new ship programs.

Where I do envy the submarine community is how more focused their decision making is. I’ve heard a whole lot less meddling in relation to sub programs compared to surface ships (to include carriers) during their design cycle.

Any insight into the Navy’s new Medium Landing Ship? That should be 35 of these in addition to the gators - and if these ships are assigned to the Corps, could any of the big decks be repurposed into drone carriers? One problem is the helo deck - it appears the only USMC helo that could land on it would be the Huey.

This Will Be The Navy's New Medium Landing Ship

The Navy hopes to have the first Medium Landing Ship built by 2029 and avoid chronic issues that have plagued its recent shipbuilding efforts.
