1) You are exaggerating...RIDICULOUSLY so.
Most regulars here (surely) know that you think China are gods and America sucks/is doomed.
You only state that about 2 dozen times each day.
2) The boats that were taken out of commission early were the littoral types (Independence and Freedom classes).

Why?
Because the Navy messed up with the class.
They designed a class to fight in 'small wars' (close to shore)...because they thought that was the future.
They were wrong.
Big deal.
The ships are just frigates anyway.
And they all work fine - they just are poorly armed for open-ocean combat.
Finally, the Navy is already addressing the problem with the new, Constellation Class frigates.

3) The U.S.S. Ford is doing alright.
It is in service.
The recovery system works fine.
The launching system has bugs...but they are getting fixed.
Every major navy is looking at Electromagnetic launching systems.
Because the system is a great one.
Unfortunately for the Ford - it was the guinea pig.
And - like all guinea pigs - it's had teething troubles.
Name me one, new, major weapons system that did NOT have teething troubles?
I doubt you can.
5) And where the fuck is your proof that the Navy's officers are the worst in the military?
if you are going to throw accusations like that around - you better have a link to prove it.
So...where is yours?
The U.S. Navy is still THE MOST formidable navy on the planet (though China is catching up quickly).
Period.
