It's an "overkill" build-out that we will never need. The only possible conventional opponent is China, which we will never fight. If they should go nuts in the Taiwan straight, we could knock out anything they have with our 15s, 16s, and 18s.

Of course, if we never fight China it may be because we have weapons we never (have to) use.

So the 22's and the 35's are wasting billions we could use for SF.

I just luv the lyrics to that tune.

Here is an old quote to ponder.

"Airplanes suffer from so many technical faults that it is only a matter of time before any reasonable man realizes that they are useless!"
- Scientific American (1910)
