stare in abject horror at the degree of incompetence and neglect of their fabulous new BRICS allies in latest RSA Navel drills
A few weeks ago, our ANC commie overlords deemed it prudent to let South Africa pledge their undying romance to their BRICS allies with Russia and China in Navel war drills 
Much to the chargin of many media strags whom are overwhelmingly pro Ukraine and anti orc, the ANC basically didn't really give a shit about the scathing 1 star reviews our journ*lists gave them for this crime against humanity 
Also men like my dad and all my uncles whom had to do conscription during the apartheid years and are all ardent anti communists, were all basically spazzing out and writhing one the floor with foam coming out of their mouths lmoa, at the sheer indignation of having our once proud navy basically being cucked by our Cold War mortal foes
But the REAL r-sluration prize winner prizeπ moment was the barely disguised shock and horror our chink allies had on live television when they came to the horrifying conclusion what a 3rd rate 3rd world dogshit trash our modern military was.
I've been trying for two weeks to find live footage from SABC but that shit doesn't find its way on TV, so you strags will just have to take my word for it
Basically Russia has known we were useless since 20 years ago, but they are pretty good at diplomacy with they satellites, but clearly China is new to the game of inspection of their new subjects and they clearly had the misconceptions that RSA military & navy of today was still equavalent to that of 25 years ago lmoa
That fricking China admirals shock to hear non of our fricking subs were seaworthy 
It was like realising any future war that would involve RSA being a complete strategic dead weight Italian ww2 style

Last time repubs tried this drivel the only ships they wanted to build were landing craft to inflate the ship numbers lmao.
They then called everyone "weak on the navy" when people correctly resisted the absurdity.

Lol I posted that because of the "BIPOC Navy" part, not as a Trump πͺ gotcha.
R-slurred pundits argue the same thing by doom prophesizing about China building more ships. Ship numbers don't mean anything on their own; that's why displacement was always the key factor in naval treaties.
That said, many of the recent ship procurement projects have been clusterfricks. The LCS being the worst offender. I think the Constellation class is promising return to more useful procurement. I hope they're right about the modernized Arleigh Burkes being sufficient to fully replace the role of the Ticonderogas. The merchant marine fleet could use some bulking out.

a major problem in the US is who controls the house.
Basically the navy is falling into a state of decay as Republicans control the house for longer periods of time, or did post 2011.
Every house member voting on things will try to get something for their district to use as electoral propaganda - because Republicans primarily rep rural areas they basically told the navy to frick off and funneled defense spending into things that might help rurals, as opposed to coastal areas.
Only when they can attack the DNC and claim they're "anti-military" will they start reeing about the navy. The sad part is the navy themselves wants to REDUCE ship numbers because they want to free up resources for a leaner, more advanced fleet.

The DDGX program looks promising as well. Much bigger than the Ticonderogas to, so shouldn't have much issue doing both roles.
