CNN of couse asks an Army guy.....
Anyway the US Navy has major problems building ships to replace those currently in service.
The old adage that Naval Capacity is Built Capacity comes to mind, how long is it taken for the new Aircraft carriers to come on line, how many recent projects have been cancelled, talk of subcontracting the South Korea or Japan, looks like they will be using UK for Submarine hulls.
All a bit sad, and Battleship in this context does not mean WW2, after all 30,000 tons is the size of a Treaty Battleshipe before WW2.
