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:
HOW ?? WHY ?? Is POS , Still in Office ??
Stop him now…
If one of the carriers, we have in commission, becomes disabled (which hopefully doesn’t happen) we have one of those ships to replace it in 24 hours. To build a new carrier takes years.
Go navy and screw Obama let’s keep America strong at all costs
GGRRRR
He is like a small child that is mad at the whole country and is tearing everything down that we have to try to make himself feel better. He has accomplished one thing..he is the most hated man in the country.
Overreacting, much? Spending billions upon trillions on military, but some cuts to the Navy oh no! We’re a big piece of pie all of a sudden!
Does the Man need to be removed from service..
I bet he would blow the whole Navy if he could!
