Face it... In the age of drones, smart missiles and space borne weaponry - ships are big expensive slow moving targets. Besides the other death merchants want the money we'd be spending on ships.

Oh, and most American war ships are made with aluminum produced in Russian aluminum plants (like Mitch McConnel's) ... So there's the 'sneaky' aspect to consider.

McConnell has an aluminium plant in Russia?

Oh silly you! McConnell allowed the Russians to open and operate an aluminum mill in Kentucky. The Russians use it as a "business portal" into the U.S. and use it to bring in agent provocateurs and such who hide behind claims of "businessmen" on "business trips". Interesting side note - McConnell has known all this and been silently complicit - which is the sword putin holds over "moscow mitch's" head. That and Mcconnell's treasonous wife.
