Trump Calls For $5B Increase In Shipbuilding To Meet Threats From Russia&china. by Explorers(m): 9:52am On Jan 09, 2017
With President-elect Donald Trump demanding more ships, the Navy is proposing the biggest shipbuilding boom since the end of the Cold War to meet threats from a resurgent Russia and saber-rattling China.

The Navy's 355-ship proposal released last month is even larger than what the Republican Trump had promoted on the campaign trail, providing a potential boost to shipyards that have struggled because budget caps that have limited money funding for ships. US tanks and hundreds of fighting vehicles were also unloaded in the northern German port of Bremerhaven on Friday, which will be moved into Eastern Europe to help allay concerns from NATO countries for Russia.

The Navy currently has only 274 deployable battle force ships.

Which ship is in Russian inventory that can intimidate the US? Which navy on earth can actually intimidate the US?
The US currently has more ships than Russian and china combined, and i am not even talking about the sophistication. What of the number of aircrafts carriers?
If you were smart you would have seen this as a ploy as usual by the republicans to further increase defence spending ,far beyond what is necessary.
The major defence industries in america are owned by republicans and they want to make money, even if it means arming america beyond the reach of any foe in the next 1000000000000 years.

US makes lots of noise when it comes to war and in the cause of that, reveals more than is required. But Russia, they have huge surprises in stock. They are just waiting for the moment to unleash.

China and Russia don't have many aircraft carrier, but China has the weapon to destroy all of American aircraft carrier in a single strike. Even America don't yet have a deterrence for that missile.

This is the DF-26 Chinese Carrier Destroyer. They can sell it to Russia. U know Russia and China are good military partners, Russia Will use it to destroy all American aircraft carrier if invaded or attacked.

lolololol.
Carrers destroyers are not new. It is just a mega-missile aimed solely at destroying vulnerable megastructures.
Anybody can build a carrier destroyer. Even Iran and south africa. It is just basically giant missiles.
