So, you know, maybe there's something not nuts about this or what's the nuts part?

You know, first of all, what the Navy has figured out, and I don't know, you know, I'm not really a close observer of the Navy, only having taught for 25 years at the Naval War College.

Over these years, what the Navy figured out is, no, we need to be maneuverable, fast, lighter, more float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, more maneuverable.

What Donald Trump wants are big.

He's in love with the idea of battleships.

We have to have battleships.

You know, big battleships.

Big green boats, maybe.

Golden boats, because gold floats.

The mainstay of the American fleet right now is the Arleigh Burke destroyer.

And those are pretty good ships.

By the way, when you say ships for the surface fleet, you say boats, people think submarines.

So we're going to say ships to be good navalists.

Got it, okay.

What trucks are posing are ships that are like three times the size of an Arleigh Burke because what he really wants is like – he's so stuck in his youth.

He wants the USS Wisconsin and the Iowa belching their guns at the bad guys.

I mean John Phelan, the secretary of the Navy who has never served in the Navy and has no connection to the Navy and has no experience with naval issues said –

I don't know.

I mean, no, he doesn't have like an eyepatch and a pirate hat, if that's what you're asking.

Yeah, I don't know.
