But you had some visionaries that said, hey, when we fight the Japanese across the vast Pacific, we're going to need the aircraft carriers.

Tell our audience about that.

What happened this kind of late 1930s, 1940 before Pearl Harbor?

Yeah, there was a great understanding amongst many in Washington and folks in the fleet that the Imperial Japanese Navy and the striking fleet, the Kido Butai, were a serious, very serious threat and that they were growing dangerous and that

there was going to be a conflict.

And so one of the senators in the Congress, Senator Carl Vinson, put together a bill called the Two Ocean Navy Act in 38, 39, it got passed in 40.

And it was that work that was done in 1940 that allowed us to start winning and seeing the production of that industrial might roll off the lines in 43, in the summer of 43,

that allowed us to win the war in the Pacific.

If that bill had not been passed in 1940, we just scraped by in the Battle of Midway.

It was a miracle that we won there.

It was a turning point.

But it was only a turning point in respect that we had something coming off the line in a new fleet.

We need that same kind of a focus today because the Chinese, not just their Navy, but the Chinese Communist Party's agenda is to destroy the United States of America.

They prefer to do it non-kinetically, but they have built a kinetic capability and they will use it if given the opportunity.

Okay, right there you see the president, the commander-in-chief is now landing on the USS Bush.

All right, here we go.

We're going to cut to the voice of God here to explain what's going on.

Let's go ahead and do it.

John Phelan, and finally, Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Darrell Cottle.

I will be your narrator, Lieutenant Daniel Burns, call sign Hey Hey from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
