The point was not that they decided that they didn't want the battleship. The point was the statement, not wanting the battleship around is just the context of the statement.

The statement was something along the lines of the military should be reduced "to the point that the Generals would wake up one day and say "hey the military is so small, what's the use " and then they would all go home."

(Note the quotes are there because I am quoting a statement from Alan Smithee, and should not be considered to imply that I am asserting that the actual statement was exactly word for word as quoted)
