He argues that the Navy is too small, too old, and too slow to meet the demands of a modern conflict. He also warns that the Navy is losing its technological edge to its rivals.

Mayday is a wake-up call for the United States. If the U.S. Navy does not take steps to address the challenges it faces, America's naval supremacy could be lost.

The U.S. Navy is too small

The U.S. Navy has been shrinking for decades. In 1985, the Navy had over 500 ships. Today, the Navy has just over 280 ships. This decline in the size of the Navy has made it more difficult for the Navy to meet its global commitments.

The Navy is particularly short on ships that are capable of operating in the high-end fight. The Navy has only 11 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and only 69 cruisers and destroyers. This is not enough to meet the demands of a modern conflict.

The U.S. Navy is too old

The U.S. Navy is also too old. The average age of a U.S. Navy ship is over 30 years old. This is older than the average age of ships in any other major navy.

The age of the U.S. Navy's ships is a major concern because it makes them more vulnerable to attack. Older ships are more likely to have structural problems and are less likely to be able to withstand the rigors of combat.

The U.S. Navy is too slow

The U.S. Navy is also too slow. The Navy's ships are not as fast as the ships of its rivals. This makes it more difficult for the Navy to respond to threats in a timely manner.

The Navy's slow speed is also a problem because it makes it more difficult for the Navy to keep up with the pace of modern warfare. In a modern conflict, the Navy will need to be able to move quickly to respond to threats.

The U.S. Navy is losing its technological edge

The U.S. Navy is also losing its technological edge to its rivals. China and Russia are investing heavily in new naval technologies, and the U.S. Navy is struggling to keep up.

For example, China is developing a new class of nuclear-powered submarines that are faster and stealthier than any U.S. submarine. Russia is also developing new hypersonic missiles that could outrun any U.S. defenses.

The U.S. Navy needs to invest in new technologies to stay ahead of its rivals. If the Navy does not, it could lose its technological edge and its ability to deter war.

Mayday: A wake-up call for the United States

Mayday is a wake-up call for the United States. If the U.S. Navy does not take steps to address the challenges it faces, America's naval supremacy could be lost.

The U.S. Navy needs to be larger, younger, faster, and more technologically advanced. It also needs to be more focused on high-end warfare.
