I was amazed recently to learn that the US fleet is down to 270 ships, (iirc) from the 600 last time I checked. I believe it still has 10 or more super carriers, so that's good.

The U.S. support ship are becoming more effective, plus they are get rid of some missle subs, and you know why the are doing that it is because they are try to safe alittle something so the can upgrade the carrier all to nuclear power, and the are going to get rid of some of the not necessary ship and expand the carriers to may 13. As so as the USS Ronald reagan replaces the Constellation then there will be 2 convientionally drive carriers left. The U.S. has 11 super carriers exactly right now. Since the budget only alows 11 carriers that is why the are down sizing the other shipsto make room for more carriers. So it may look like it is downsize but just wait it will increase soon again.

That's not a good figure, since the three Dolphin subs were given free and half free by Germany and each costs something like a billion dollars(shekels?).

I think that would be Shekels, son. IIRC, a fully grown SSBN costs a couple of billion USD, right?

Still I couldn't care less, since we'll blow'em all of the water with our airforce.
