The Navy is the Navy's worst enemy. That is the bottom line. The Navy is looking for a mission to feel relevant and overlooking the missions which make it most relevant. Gates needs to shake up the Navy but not in a way which rocks it, but makes it look at its own mission and decide how to implement that in today's world. The answer is not amphibs which meet nobody's requirements or guns which provide support to noone but are made in state X. The Navy needs to embrace its heritage and postulated missions and stop shaking in its dungarees every time their is a review. If we have done our work in the intervening 3 years, the quadrennial will not hurt.PWnoreply@blogger.com
