US Navy Inspection Board: The financial condition of the US Navy has deteriorated

The general material condition of the American Navy fleet worsened as of fiscal year 2022 - this negative trend began back in 2017. Such data follows from a report prepared by the US Naval Inspection and Survey Board (INSURV).

Thus, according to the report, at the end of fiscal year 2022, approximately 44% of ships were inspected late.



Also, from the document it turned out that INSURV is not able to provide itself with a sufficient number of personnel in order to check each ship every 3 years, as required by the regulations. To do this, he needs to rely on the help of a regional maintenance (TO) and repair point, whose employees would act in this case as inspectors.

The Council does not have enough premises to carry out the necessary technical control, especially with regard to the development of special technical conditions

– also follows from the report.

It is worth noting that a material condition study was conducted in relation to combat surface ships, submarines and aircraft carriers, while the most serious violations were identified in the command of the US Navy's maritime transportation - on military transport ships (UDC, conventional landing ships).

As of 2022, the Board of Inspection and Inspection has carried out an inspection of the materiel of 80 active American ships and vessels. These include the Virginia-class submarine, the Independence Coastal Warfare class, the Spearhead-class expeditionary fast transport, the ship-to-shore connector, also known as the LCAC 100 class (a system proposed by the US Navy as a replacement for the existing amphibious hovercraft), port tugs and the so-called barracks ships.

An interesting conclusion is that now the council is waiting for more funding from the authorities in order to expand its activities to study the material and technical condition of the fleet. After the abolition of the national debt ceiling in the United States, you can finance anything and, it turns out, in any amount. Apparently, the council is well aware of this, and therefore the report arrived on time ...

      The inspection is always crying that there is not enough budget.
      Especially the US military.
      No matter how much you give, they will always beg for more.
      If we take the TOP-12 countries in terms of military spending, then the United States will have exactly as much as the other 11.
      And still they beg to increase the budget.

        And what's wrong with that? the balance is maintained, 3%, and not half of the economy, when something dies, maybe it remains outside the distribution of funds.

        they will knock out and inspect that half of the ships need .. repainting (for example) - according to their reports, state orders for industry will go = salaries to amers, and those further on bread, cars, etc. domestic goods = salaries to the following amers = development multiplier in action, 1 piece of paper will produce 10 taxes and pay for everything 100 times. And the fleet will be updated and industry in business and 10 years of life employed in concrete. and related processes of citizens are provided, and these are children, Chances (brains), etc. - that's how it is.

        So buy our government bonds - and we will be able to do the same, proud of the high domestic public debt = people.
        Our fleet, especially the 30-year-old Pacific Fleet, has long been waiting for at least some support from the people.
        Otherwise, 40 will cope alone.

          The Chinese fleet is almost the same (a little more)
          And the budget is three times smaller.
          Check out the size of the budget cut.

            I would rather check out how you are trying to compare something in the currency of one of the countries))
            and from this draw the left conclusions.
            Normalize first, then compare. even as a percentage of GDP
            and it will turn out ± the same, which means that there are already no "cut sizes"

    2nd day of crocodile tears immediately after the appearance of new funds. Oh yes, lobbying, as it is.
    (well, it's interesting, it's even significant how they immediately go into circulation, ordinary amers instantly come up with revolving rings, i.e. no infl. composition, but real development)

    I just don’t understand - what for is reprinting for our public, as well as for public debt?
    To rejoice fz what? %) how it was - the wind blows, the trees rustle

    The Council, having listened to the complaints of the admirals about the insufficient funding of the Navy, decided why it was worse. Therefore, we decided to express our complaints and ask for additional funding. Everything is natural - everyone needs money.

    This is fine. The fleet, like the army, exists in peacetime to be robbed. Capitalism is such capitalism) If the goods of the civilian sector are constantly used, then military products lie in their warehouses, waiting for war. So you can make them out of shit, and not make them at all, passing air through well-made documents. And then run away with a stolen one, and catch the tramp in the field)
    The fleet, unfortunately of thieves, either swims or walks (sailors can’t decide, and we don’t ...), so some kind of control is still needed. But the fact is that thieves have no "red lines" in principle, and there cannot be any. Such is the essence of theft - it cannot be kept within any limits. A thief will steal everything he can get his hands on, no matter what he promises himself and people.
    It's funny, but the amount of funds and resources allocated to maintain the robbed object does not matter. They released a million, nine hundred thousand will be stolen. They released a billion - the same story!) There are only two known ways to combat theft in the military industry. The first is to execute thieves and confiscate stolen goods. It does not completely stop theft, but it sets the framework well. At the same time, no prison terms solve the issue at all. The thief is simply redeemed. Only death, no options.
    The second way is socialism. It also does not completely solve the problem, but it reduces theft on an army scale to the point of ridiculousness. Robes, carcasses and fuels and lubricants. Nothing to talk about.

      you write in such a way that you only describe yourself and those who raised you
      and everything is easy and simple. Well go try it, you'll be in the subject

      and the prisoners (I'm talking about your perspective), by the way, this is also beneficial to the country:
      mouths for the development of agriculture, bodies for the development of light, and something else they produce and give work to the guards
      of course, not as profitable as if they were not there
      the brains would be freed from their protection, and the means for science / technology; those whom they killed would be preserved
      and they themselves would be developing the country with greater efficiency
      and maybe even with better efficiency - not physical labor, but mental.
      this is the value of every chance
      (It is high time to replace all physical labor with robots, otherwise half of the country is taxi drivers, drivers, food deliveries, etc. But there is no labor and people left for the minds, and we live ..)

          well, a friend feels rich experience in fairy tales, so everything is in the subject%)

          what don't you like? that I’m not calling him to death for theft (I’m generally against it), but to use the body behind bars for the benefit of the development of the country?

          or about physical work? I'm really offended that so many expensive bodies are used for such a primitive physical. labor against the backdrop of a shortage of population in the country.

          It’s not a pity for robots - let them replace all these professions and die themselves in an accident or break. And people were not born for this, but for working with their brains - Chances (this is also MB physical work, but already completely different, with meaning, and not stupidly right and left)

        A cute creature of an incomprehensible gender) When I was little (and it was a long time ago)) this "argument" was already recognized as the meanest manipulation and was not considered any argument, just the chatter of a person who has nothing to argue on the merits.
        I would say something about the rest of your arguments, but you didn't bring them up. Try to express yourself in such a way that at least some sense is revealed in your slurred sentences. What is it about? "Released the brains of their guards", "They themselves would be developing the country with greater efficiency"? Are you broadcasting from an American prison? Let the curators teach you the Russian language there ...

          and where is something “substantially” in your resume?) or “arguments”?) In addition to the tales in the comments, you didn’t write a single statement, respectively, either someone brought it up, or from your own desires.

          And about the death penalty.
          So I say - keeping you in prison will be much more profitable for the development of the country than depriving yourself of a consumer.
          Like pets, for example.
          "Released the brains of their guards", "They themselves would be developing the country with greater efficiency"?

          well, look: people will be busy guarding you in prison
          Those. instead of revealing the Chances (their brains), we will be forced to use their Bodies for primitive work.
          - this would be relevant if we had a large population in such a country and a lack of work. But we have the opposite.

          The effectiveness of their (protection) contribution to the development of the country will still be higher,than you have behind bars, but not as high as if they were engaged in knowledge work / technology.

          As you can see, there are always pluses, there are only fewer or more of them, so go for it, make your dreams come true.

    After the abolition of the national debt ceiling in the United States, you can finance anything and, it turns out, in any volume
    Goodbye ceiling, hello inflation. It is, of course, now again you can print loot and finance anything, but the output from this action will be minimal. Inflation will devour everything, because the old American economic schemes no longer work, and they have not come up with new ones. They have one recipe for all occasions, a printing press.

    Damn, citizens, well, who writes "ship-to-shore connector" like that, I understand that Google translates "clumsily", but you can also modify it yourself with a file)))
