Of the 3 still operating, only 1 has a combat role; the other 2 are training bases. We’re talking 4 decades time, 4 countries and half a dozen states. p2https://www.blogger.com/profile/08569217370626636923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198442674791729773.post-63453404867182551192022-01-19T03:23:36.903-05:002022-01-19T03:23:36.903-05:00GEARINGS and ALLEN M SUMNERs were just six gun FLE...GEARINGS and ALLEN M SUMNERs were just six gun FLETCHER variants. Can you see us ever ordering DDs 400 at a time? <br />We stopped building CVEs at USS TINIAN, CVE-123, add on 9 INDEPENDENCE CLs, 14 ESSSEX Class CVs, USS SARATOGA, USS ENERPRISE, and the three MIDWAYs, and in September 1945, we had 154 carriers, admittedly most being CVEs being used as aircraft transports to keep the SeaBee built airfields, and the Fleet carriers stocked with planes. <br /><br />Now, in an equally dangerous world, we have 12. Since BURKEs are really CLAAs, like ATLANTAs, the US Navy at this time, does not own a single destroyer. But we sure have LCSes! I even had a guy on Salamamnder's site try and convince me that an LCS could defeat the Big Badger Boat!<br /><br />I feel betrayed.

The people that run things are going to find that appeasement does not work, and just because they think in certain ways, that everyone thinks that way.
