Track and track is ten times harder than track and kill, peace is a b*tch for some things.

Today the U.S. Navy must prepare for two major wars–one against Iran in the Persian Gulf, the other against China in the Western Pacific–while also combating piracy off the coast of Africa, dealing with unexpected wars such as the one in Libya last year, supporting ground operations in Afghanistan and other theaters, combating drug runners in the Caribbean, and showing the flag in the Mediterranean, Indian Ocean, and other seas. The operational tempo dictated by these requirements is terrific, as I have seen for myself in the last few years in visits to the 5th Fleet in the Persian Gulf and the 7th Fleet in Japan.

Perhaps Bertie believes that the 1700 English Navy would destroy ours since they had 500 "ships of the line." Those broadsides were devastating....

Well like Pat says, he just parrots what he hears...........so garbage in garbage out
Another cute and out of context by the guy with the puny lawn. Now try to remember what I really said and what it was related to, I realize asking you to complete two tasks is asking a lot, but I have confidence you have it in you Joe. Kind of like talking and scratching your a** at the same time.

oh the comment of me having a puny lawn is very telling..................you think you are better than me because of my lawn size. Somehow you have figured out my lawn size, did you pull that out of your ass.

You stated yesterday that YOU parrot what you hear. I did not make that up, I even questioned you and you repeated it

What do you think child?

The ships we have are, when not retrofitting in port, almost constantly at sea and they are struggling to keep up with threats ranging from Chinese “aircraft-killer” ballistic missiles and submarines to Iranian mines and cruise missiles–not to mention the ever-present threat of cyberattack and terrorism (of the kind which crippled the USS Cole). Yes, the capabilities of each naval ship are greater today–but so are its range of potential missions and so are the capabilities of our potential foes. China is expanding its maritime capabilities at a rapid clip; the U.S. Navy is struggling to keep up and the balance of power in the Western Pacific is shifting against us.
