Officials are discussing the number of U.S. warships plan to 増 530 ships

(Washington, DC) It is reported that the future of the US Department of Defense's future naval proposal will require a significant increase in the number of ships. Officials are discussing the number of naval ships to 530 ships.

The US Defense News Weekly website recently published an article saying that defense journalists checked the supporting documents for the upcoming future naval power research.Files show that the US Navy is developing towards light, and it will have more ships, but the number of aircraft carriers and large surface combat ships will decrease.This fleet will include more small surface combat ships, unmanned ships and submarines, and larger logistics forces.

According to reports, the two teams that were commissioned by the Minister of Defense Esper and the future naval planning suggested that the number of ships that the US Navy should have between 480 and 534 ships.Compared with the current target of 355 ships in 2030, the number of proposals has increased by at least 35%.

All these numbers come from the draft of the relevant research research in April in the future.This research report was written by the Minister of Defense's Office.

In the future, the Navy Power Research Project launched in January this year. This work assigned tasks from multiple teams to provide them with ideas about the ideal navy structure in 2045.The team includes the cost assessment and plan estimate of the Pentagon (CAPE) and a team of the Hudson Institute.In a statement, the Navy said that in the end, the Navy will use the feedback from this research to formulate a shipbuilding plan and the 2022 fiscal year budget requirements.

Both CAPE and Hudson team believe that it is necessary to increase the number and diversity of naval ships, while improving the ability of vertical launch systems.They all support the reduction of the number of super carrier from the current 11 to 9.Hudson's research also requires investment to build four light aircraft carriers.Both teams require adding small surface battleships.

Cape recommends that the upper limit is set at 70, and Hudson recommends a maximum of 56.In terms of amphibious ships, both teams recommend reducing the number of traditional dock landing ships, and it is recommended that the Marine Corps has 20 to 26 light amphibious ships.
