 Zero commercials. First up, the US navy, its former slogan, a global force for good. But how large should that force be? That question has been addressed by politicians, military experts, observers and analysts. But the answer is harder to find. On one hand, the US navy currently has ten aircraft carriers, more than the rest of the world combined, and technology that some observers say put it well ahead of any other country’s navy. On the other hand, the military branch itself says changes are coming, and that is needs 30 more ships to maintain its presence around the world. Many defense experts agree, but a shrinking US military budget could keep the navy stretch sting.

The US navy is the world’s largest. American worships travel the globe confronting drug traffickers and terrorists providing post disasters humanitarian aid, and pressing possible military conflicts. But in turns of *, today’s navy is the smartest stance since WWI. Of course the difference between the technology back then, and today make the comparison questionable. Currently, the US navy has 273 ships including ten aircraft carriers and 30 * ships. China’s navy, now has about 250 worships, it’s banded the * ship. And Russia was about 270 worships is modernizing with new classic cruel missiles up. And navy strategy report release in March recommended the US to more than 300 subtle. But some presidential candidates wonder that will be enough. By 2020, the navy says about 50% of its ships and aircrafts will be based in Indo-Asia-Pacific region, including new weapon systems like the F-35 fighter jet and classic destroyer. But gun also wants more ships closer to potential hot spot like the Middle East, maintaining a flit with well rested and properly train staler requires a constantly shifting highly quarrel craft strategic dance, with national security hanging in the balance. A rotation like that cost stigma. Over the past three years, congress has given the navy 25 billion dollars left when white house request it, which the navy says has slow the modernization. Some experts say in Washington, the navy is already large enough to do its job. Others question the value of the expensive aircraft carriers, and wonder if that money could be spend better elsewhere like on so-called on-man combat air vehicles.
