Arrr, the ol' Yankee sub be settin' sail fer a brawl with the Red Dragon! Avast, me hearties!
2024-12-02
Arrr, mateys! Our mighty subs be in a pickle! Repairs be laggin' like a lazy sea turtle, and we can’t churn out but two a year! China be nippin' at our heels! The Trump crew must hoist the sails and sail swift, or we be fish bait!
Ahoy, me hearties! Gather ‘round as I spin ye a yarn about the mighty U.S. Navy, which be in dire straits, beggin’ Congress for a treasure of $7.3 billion to fix its nuclear ships. They be needin’ these fearsome vessels to keep ol’ China from swabbin’ the deck with ‘em! Aye, those newfangled Columbia-class “boomers” be critical for holdin’ the U.S. nuclear deterrent, but alas, production be slower than a turtle in molasses.Ever since Trump sailed away from the White House, the shipyards be rustier than a shipwrecked galleon! The Navy aims to build two attack subs a year, but they be barely shore-bound with one! And don’t get me started on repairs – they be backloggin’ faster than a scallywag in a tavern! Meanwhile, China be cookin’ up new subs, and Russia be sailin’ their latest K-561 Kazan to Cuba, stirrin’ trouble like a hornet’s nest!
So what be the fix, ye ask? Congress must cough up the doubloons, and the shipyards need to hire more hands. If Trump’s crew can pull this off, it might just be the start of a mighty revival in nuclear shipbuilding, lest the Western Pacific turn into Xi Jinping’s personal playground! Arrr, the stakes be high, and the clock be tickin’! Let’s hope our seafarin’ mates can ride the storm and keep the seas safe!
