Being prepared for a conflict means keeping serviceable the old ships, especially carriers. Currently there are six oil fueled platforms in mothballs, but ready to spring to service if needed. Then Obama found them.
Since the start of 2014, the Obama Administration has been actually rushing these conventional-fueled ships to Brownsville, Texas, to be scrapped. Four of these ships, USS Forrestal (CV 59), USS Saratoga (CV 60), USS Ranger (CV 61), and USS Constellation (CV 64) have been towed to Brownsville, and a fifth, USS Independence (CV 62), is slated to join them.
That is bad enough, but a sixth carrier, USS Enterprise (CVN 65), was also slated for the scrap yard, and the Obama Administration has already begun that task, even as Russia and China have become more aggressive. How Obama guts the navy is on the next page:
Just ignorant. Need these
he is a great muslim remember. that says he is not right. in the head
The ships in question were built in the late 50s and 60s. As a former sailor, I can tell you that maintenance costs far exceed usability. Many of the systems are obsolete, and spare parts are not available.
Do we need to build our Navy? Yes. Keeping old ships, though, puts us in more danger than it helps us, especially their crews.
WHERE, are the Admirals, and Generals, with the guts to stop this man, by any means necessary????
When will our military act? Take this traitor out of office you all took an oath to protect the united States now take the Constitution seriously and act
CONGRESS YOU WILL PAY DEARLY FOR ALL THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL C**P THAT YOU LET OBAMA GET AWAY WITH. REID AND MCCONNELL ARE HOLDING THE MILITARY BACK FROM NOT TELLING THE MASTER AT ARMS ARREST OBAMA. MY RELATIVE’S HAVE DIED FOR THIS COUNTRY ALONG WITH THOUSANDS MORE. IS YOUR LIFE SO MUCH BETTER THAN OUR ANCESTORS THAT YOU SET BACK AND COUNT YOUR MONEY. WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS AND WHEN WE DO CONGRESS WILL HAVE TERM LIMITS , THE ONES THAT LIVE THROUGH IT. OUR VETERANS AND MILITARY WILL DEFEAT THE MUSLIM SLIME AND THEN LOOK OUT THE MEDIA AND GEORGE SOROS CAN’T PROTECT YOU ANY MORE. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOLE. BY THE WAY MY ANCESTOR FINISHED THE RIDE FOR PAUL REVERE WHEN CULTURED GOING TO CONCORD.
14 months and counting down
This is just my opinion but our boys need to do whats right and defend Israel and America, they need to tell bummer to stick his so called orders up his muslim a** !!!! bummer is doing nothing but tearing America down, we need to stand up and be heard and to run him out of the white house and all his clan !!!!!
He’s wanting to do everything possible to make it a walk in the park, for his Muslims brother’s to take over this country as I said before this is a very well thought out plan, he’s been working on it for quite a while, and now he’s in high gear, get ready people is all I’ll say.
The Congress and the American People need to stop obama…we must restore our military…even if the only option is to have the military arrest obama…I so hope that happens and soon…he is not one of us…we love America and we must protect our freedoms and rights.
