Is our Navy ready?

         USS Growler, February 7. 1943 - CDR Gilmore orders crash dive to save boat - at cost of own life

"We sleep safely at night because rough men stand ready to visit violence on those who would harm us." - Winston Churchill

What is the culture in today's US Navy?  Do we recruit, promote, 'rough men' today?

Does today's Navy even know what business they are in?  

They don't know how to build a ship (LCS, DDG 1000).

They clearly aren't interested in recruiting solid men of the type we know can sail, fight, and win.

They can't even keep their ships from burning down pierside.

It's been a long, long, time since a real opponent challenged the US at sea.  Generations since Reagan have totally squandered our lead.  It does not appear winning a war at sea is even a minor priority to the anti-American cultural marxists running DOD and the Navy.
