Drastic manpower shortages to mandate the proposed move, which is symptomatic of other, related U.S. military manpower problems
Navy Likely to Remove 17 Support Ships, Called the “Logistics Backbone” of the Fleet, from Active ServiceFor several years we have been chronicling the drastic problems the U.S.
The MSC “force generation reset” identified two Lewis and Clark replenishment ships, one fleet oiler, a dozen Spearhead-class Expeditionary Fast Transports and two forward-deployed Navy expeditionary sea bases that would enter an “extended maintenance” period and have their crews retasked to other ships in the fleet, three people familiar with the plan told USNI News Thursday….
The Navy has a 30-year shipbuilding plan that will include the decommissioning of 48 ships to occur over a four-year period that started in 2022… According to USNI, some of the fast transport ships have already begun to return to the United States for unknown reasons. In the coming decade, the US Navy will be stretched thin to counter the burgeoning numerical strength of the Chinese PLA Navy in the Indo-Pacific. The US Navy that will deliver the wrath of the US beyond its border has an Achilles Heel—not the lack of warships but trained crew to man those warships.
This will make it difficult for the US to keep pace with the growing flotilla of the Chinese Navy. According to the 2022, China is building more modern surface vessels, aircraft carriers, and support ships to help its naval influence grow. By 2025, the People’s Liberation Army Navy is expected to grow to 400 hulls, up from its fleet of 340.
