Short answer

 I was asked twice by non-veteran friends what I thought of the story carried by numerous journals about today's Navy.

Short answer - fight?  Yes, it'll be receiving rounds soooo ... it'll be in a fight.

Win?  NO.

The Culture is toxic.  No warriors.  No leaders.

Personnel.  Critical perishable skills gone.  Time wasted on marxist indoc and ass covering.  

And are they tough?  

Ships and combat systems material condition?

But, hey, whadda I know?  What today's Navy has is "Diversity is our strength".

Good luck wid dat sailor.
