Navy To Quickly Shed 30% Of Cruiser And Destroyer Fleet

by Craig Hooper via Forbes
The cuts will be deep and potentially rapid. Today, 92 large combatants are in the fleet, but the Navy’s longer-term plans suggest the legacy large surface combatant fleet of Ticonderoga Class (CG 47) cruisers, Zumwalt Class (DDG 1000) destroyers and Arleigh Burke Class (DDG 51) destroyers will shrink to a fleet of 63 to 65 large surface vessels over the next 30 years. Amphibious assault vessels (LHA/LHDs and LPDs) and command, support and fast transport ships will be cut as well, and the future small surface combatant fleet of littoral combat ships and frigates is only projected to grow to between 40 and 45 ships from a current fleet of 35. 

The cuts are widespread, but one place the axe falls hardest is upon the Navy’s large surface combatant fleet. First, the Department of Defense will force the Navy to eliminate the entire 22-hull Ticonderoga Class cruiser fleet. But even that drastic cut is not enough for the Navy to get to the Department of Defense’s current projection of 63 to 65 ships. With 88 Arleigh Burkes in service, under construction or already authorized, Arleigh Burke destroyer procurement will likely cease and 27 older Flight I, Flight IA and Flight II Burkes will be ushered out of the fleet.

So there you have it.

The Marine Corps has become a missile throwing, robot boat having, totally against ground combat force because big sis is fucked up from the floor up.

The Navy is jacked up and Berger is doing the same with the Marine Corps because they're so jacked up.

Just fucking perfect.

Integrating is the latest Pentagon buzzword...US Navy integrates with Indian Navy...

Bryan is right...ignore the worth of the policy, that isn't up for debate (right or wrong-good or bad), what is up for debate is HOW DOES THE CDC HAVE THIS POWER!

The first weapon system for the United States Marine Corps’ new Long Range Unmanned Surface Vessel (LRUSV) has been confirmed. The UVision Air Ltd. Hero-120 Organic Precision Fires (OPF) smart loitering munition system and Multi-Canister launcher will be integrated onto the LRUSV, providing the Marine Corps with ISR, highly accurate and precision indirect fire strike capabilities.
