Hire South Korea and Japan to build our next ships until the U.S. Navy can get its act together. We cannot afford another round of Ford CVN, LCS or Zumwalts. Nor another Bonhomme Richard- what a FUBAR. We also need to stamp out the graft, corruption and incompetence in the Navy- do you think Fat Leonard was a once in a lifetime event, a unique occurence?

Perhaps build the hulls as Navantia did for the Australian LHD's and then have them towed to the US for outfitting with GFE.

Add Japan, they built a frigate in 18 months. Bonhomme Richard is an example of failed leadership from the Flag Offices XOs, division officers down to the CPO's. Same with suicides living conditions on the George Washington. For some reason classes/parroting DEI talking points and getting into arguments with news network talking heads on twitter has take the place of real leadership.

Certainly Japan, I must have had another Senior Moment. Our Senior Military Officers, from SecDef on down, are betraying their oath of office, and are more concerned with being Bobbleheads for Biden that upholding the Constitution.
