U.S. Navy needs a realistic force structure

The U.S. Navy is fielding forces that won't be able to take on high-threat wars. Even Indonesia now has a better anti-ship missile than we do. And for the AEGIS cheerleaders, well, it has to actually be turned on during the few seconds that a threat suddenly appears on the horizon, moving in fast. Good luck.

For real defense of the nation, we have the USMC and the U.S. Navy absorbing funds that are better used in other communities.

The U.S. Navy is wasting money on targets such as the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) and Zumwalt I guess the Prince of Wales and Repulse only had a bit of bad luck.

To be fair subs are going in the right direction (we could always use more) and ships like this make good sense.

The LCS and Zumwalt are useless in low threat wars and too risky to use in high-threat wars.

Also, the carrier air wing will get slaughtered in the Pacific Rim in the coming years against high end threats. No one wants to lose thousands of sailors and marines, but that is where the U.S. Navy is headed if we have to take on a big threat.

The U.S. Navy is no where close to recognition of the problem, which means higher than needed casualties, a lost battle, and maybe even a lost war, are almost certain against emerging threats
