As Commandant Neller opined it’s problematic to mission accomplishment if we can’t even get to the fight in the first place. Great article and additionally what is implied but unstated is the sad state of affairs that the US Navy combatant surface navy finds itself. Senator Tom Cotton (R. Arkansas) commissioned a report some years ago that highlighted the myriad issues with our surface fleet. It’s worth reading again and ties in with what you are bringing to light in this post.
It’s disgusting. The politicians and flag officers waiting for consulting and sales jobs go for the high dollar items. Doesn’t seem like anyone makes decisions for the hood of the country anymore. This will hasten our demise.
