Anybody going to ask “But how are we going to pay for it?” And who will we be using all those ships against? Anybody know..?

Against all of them pesky icebergs. Oh, wait....
Replying to @marwilliamson @kthalps
Honestly surprised we don’t already have more ships than that

The MIC can't sell weapons to militaries with a full armory, so either the armory expands or an enemy will be contrived to deplete the existing resources to make room for replacements.

Can all the new pandemic homeless live on them?

I want to also know how are they going to find enough qualified sailors to crew these vessels.
Replying to @marwilliamson
IIRC we already have 480 ships, going to 500 would not be ridiculous. We have, in an ideal world, been using our Navy to promote free trade by monitoring the seas, using them for humanitarian aid efforts and backing up foreign democracies in unfriendly regions.

The Navy currently doesn’t have the personal to man the ships they have now. They don’t need ships, they need people. The navy admitted this when their ships crashed into each other.

And who's going to man all those boats? They can't even fully man the boats they already got.
