Question for anyone. So President Trump requests a Naval build up of 350 ships, the Navy says they'll need 355. Ships are long-term builds, everyone knows this so...
Here is my question,
Are there mothballed ships that can be taken out of storage and modernized to speed up the journey to 350+ Ships? And be relevant, and no I'm not talking battleships.

Yes Sir ! but you find for a part
by ex 2 shiny Supply Class the more capable replenishment ships in the world !Actualy 285 ships so necessary + 70 but for severals years i think Trump need 4 year in more but enough fast with ships in reserve and some new surely possible going for 300.
And thanks again for all these likes
Reasons :
The committee tends to take a more bipartisan approach than other committees, as many of its members formerly served in the military or have major defense interests located in the states they come from

Not at all...we are just transitioning from an administration that not only did not understand the need for strong mainteannce (and it is not cheap) but were not interested in all of that detail, to an administration that is going to get things back under control.About US naval mainteinance increase, if a man doesen't know better, you could think that the USN is preparing for some incoming war...
The US has maintained its supremacy preciely because for decades the nation and its people have been willing t spend the money and time to develop, field, and then maintain fighting equipment and personnel on the ground, ni the air, and on and under the sea...and then exercise it rigorously, and maintain it regularly and at high tempos.
This new administration understands it and intends to get that part of the force structure back in shape.
it has been let go for years now and I for one am glad to see the political leadership listening to the generals and admirals and moving towards the type of maintenacne effots we need.
You train like you are ready and willing to take on anyone, anywhere...it makes adversaries less likely to want to take you on.
In that way it saves money and horrific cost of out and out war.

sounds like wishful thinking to me, because pretty much the same managers, salespersons, lobbyist etc. will be around, just with more Pentagon money to "revolutionize naval warfare", "provide the USN with unprecedented capabilities", whatever what will stuff their pockets ... that's what I think, and in the meantime Trump nominates businessman Philip Bilden as new Navy Secretary
source:
I understand that, of course. But I think that you are unfair towards previous administration. They had serious financial issues, and sincerely, I don't know where Trump will find money for all that expansion, except by skyrocketing national debt...
