The 7 Biggest Problems Facing The US Navy

[longknife]

The article doesn’t include 40-plus year-old ships that are being held together by spit and bubble gum.


Here’s what it does state:

1. Training

2. Maintenance backlog

3. Overworked sailors

4. Unrealistic budgeting

5. Aging aircraft

6. Too few pilots

7. The F-35

don't they have ''newer'' ships?
all the ships I was on in the 80s have been decommissioned
the USS Nassau commissioned 1979 decommed 2011

training:
----maybe this really means lack of good people..?maybe they are getting more idiots/slackers/lazy/etc
..those ship collisions were very avoidable
...a mediocre weapon in skilled hands can still kill/be effective

Lcs and ddg 1000.....LCS is worthless and Ddg 1000 has been breaking too.

Yah, I would say that the F-35 is a problem for the Navy. They don't have any. Good catch, there Sherlock.

What part of "Planned" are you having trouble with. The F-35C is not in production, it's barely made it into certification mode and it's still in test mode. It's NOT in the Navy no matter what's painted on it. That's like saying the original 2 test F-35As were in the Air Force because it had AF Markings even though both are still owned lock stock and barrel by Lockheed.

You clearly have problems accepting facts. And have a burning need to regress to childish name-calling.

Ignore time!!!!

Sounds to me like it's you that can't handle the facts. There are NO F-35Cs in the inventory and won't be until they really go into production. They are still in testing and have not be accepted. Next year will be different. So go ahead and do your ignore BS. Makes it a bit more quiet and truthful.

Actually, the Navy does have F-35's now. The Marines have taken delivery of some F-35B's. They even reported using them in air strikes.
And since the Marines are part of the Navy...the Navy DOES have some F-35's.

Try and convince a Gyrene that those are owned by the Navy. After a short 2 word argument, let the fight begin.
