They want 315 ships. That's it? That would make us weak! After all, in 1864 the navy had 700 ships in its fleet!! The navy today wants to be less than half as strong as it was in 1864! What a bunch of traitors they are. We need Mitt Romney as President, so he can build 1000 ships!
 
LOL Maybe we can build enough where they can just anchor them end-to-end and the soldiers can walk to our many foreign wars.

Let's review. The Naval Chief of Staff isn't as wise, knowledgeable and pragmatic as you are because you and Mitt have a real grasp of Naval readiness and capabilities. Any view that diverges from yours is treasonous. And we should take you seriously.

There is a reason the Navy only needs 315 ships.

The 700 ships we had in 1864 would be wiped out of existence with just 1 of our aircraft carriers and never receive a scratch in doing so.

They can also bombard inland targets from hundreds of miles away with pin point accuracy.

In addition to that, in 1864 the ONLY military we had was the Navy. Technically that is the only military allowed by Constitution....but another topic for another day.

So comparing the 1864 navy ship count to our present day ship count is like comparing apples to donkeys.
 
Building ships creats jobs. donut?
That's the "Military Industrial Complex" that Eisenhower warned us about. If building ships creates jobs then we should be at war all the time right?

Also, it is true that modern ships are more power full than ever, but that doesn't necessarily mean we need less of them. Because if we have say 3 Super Powerful ships and one gets sunk we've now lost 1/3 of our Navy.

No one else sees a problem with that?
 
It's no coincidence Mitt used 1916 as a point of comparison - his energy policy dates from the same year.

Moron.

We will be totally energy independent during Romney's first term.

Ha! That really is very, very funny!

Whenever you post ontopic I understand why you generally stick to spamming!

The US uses 20.59 million barrels per day.

The US produce 8.37 million barrels per day.

Top World Oil Producers, Exporters, Consumers, and Importers, 2006 — Infoplease.com

So, Frank - exactly where is the 12 million barrels per day of oil??

And all of that oil can be accessed and drilled within 4 years, and done economically?

Because 12 million barrels of oil per day would be a find bigger than that of Saidu Arabia, woulsn't it?
 
What the president didn't mention last night is that yes, we do have those things called Submarines and Aircraft Carriers that need support anywhere they go. Both are expensive to build and maintain and we have no plans to build any real soon . Then there's aircraft that although briefly mentioned production is being cut under "Sequestration". That's including the drastic reduction in number of cargo craft, fighters, and bombers. The F-22 production was cut and so has the F-35 been cut.
Not matter what, in the end you need boots on the ground and if that is the case you need cargo ships, cargo aircraft and all sorts of vehicles to support and advance our troops.

Given the US currently spends 4 times that of China, and more than double what China and Russian spend combined - how much do you feel would be enough?

Maybe 10 times what China spends?

Give it up, republicans do not care about making our military efficient and formed to meet the real world threats we face, it's never big enough and expensive enough to suit them while they rush around crying that we are broke and the government can't do anything right on everything but the bloated, corrupt and incredibly wasteful MIC.
