Read Very Carefully: The Drift, S. II, Vol. XXXIX

Always in the details.
First, let’s dive into Mark Esper’s remarks at Rand Corporation on the future of the Navy fleet.
Here’s Esper’s central argument:
Excerpt:
Ship numbers are important, but they don’t tell the whole story.
They do not address the types of ships and the capabilities of the vessels being counted; the skill of the crews that operate them; the prowess of the officers that lead them; or the ways in which we fight and sustain them…just to name a few.
Nonetheless, we must stay ahead; we must retain our overmatch; and we will keep building modern ships to ensure we remain the world’s greatest Navy. ....

We Doing this Right?: The Drift, S. II, Vol. XXXVIII

ALEXANDRIA – Good Evening, Drifters
Today is the day that endless force structure assessments broke my mind. At our annual Defense News Conference, Deputy Secretary of Defense David Norquist announced that the Navy’s latest force structure assessment was due to the Secretary of Defense soon, and a source tells me it will be before the end of September.
I wrote about some of this here:
I took up Navy reporting full time in 2014, after a one-year stint between 2010 and 2011 at Navy Times. Since returning to Navy reporting six years ago, this will be my fourth force structure assessment. Essentially, that is every other year. And it’s not like they’ve all been about the same number. The first two were close: 306 and 308 ships. But then it jumped to 355 and supposedly this next one will be even more ships, only mixing in unmanned and lighter ships. ....

A Maintenance House of Cards: The Drift, S. II, Vol. XXXIV

A Maintenance House of Cards: The Drift, S. II, Vol. XXXIV
UPPER PITTSGROVE, NJ – Good Evening from the New Jersey bureau.
Ladies and gentlemen, there is little doubt that the Navy is too small to carry out its current mission load. Or, perhaps more accurately: The Navy, with its current number and mix of ships, cannot generate adequate force to maintain its current mission load. They’ve been scraping too little peanut butter over too much bread for years now, and we only tend to talk about it when the wheels are falling off.
Now, here at The Drift, I’ve taken the position that I really don’t care how the Nation addresses the issue: Either grow the fleet to the size it needs to be to meet what its being asked to do, or start figuring out how to employ the fleet in a sustainable way. In other words, figure out what you’re are not going to do, or figure out how to do what you are doing in a cheaper or more efficient way. ....

Fitzgerald Revisited: The Drift, S. II, Vol. XXXVII

Let’s Drift.
Fitzgerald Again
As I intimated in my introduction, there is not much new to be found in this report. The basic story is the same: The Fitzgerald, steaming near Tokyo in heavy traffic, failed to maneuver to avoid a collision with the container ship ACX Crystal. The officer of the deck failed to properly track the Crystal, as well as several other close-call contacts that evening, and violated the Commanding Officer’s standing orders by not waking him when there was doubt about the Crystal’s course.
Further, the OOD did not coordinate with CIC on the surface picture, but CIC watchstanders were not any more effective that evening than the bridge watchstanders, not tracking the surface picture and not reporting to the bridge on what they saw. ....

Musings on history and Bonhomme Richard: The Drift, S. II, Vol. XLI

Excerpt: T
he bottom line? The Navy can either: fix Bonhomme Richard at enormous cost; replace her with a new LHA, a class of ship that Congressional Research Service says is running about $3.8 billion per hull, further constricting an already squeezed shipbuilding budget; try to pull an old big-deck out of mothballs and overhaul it for a few years of service; or it can cut bait entirely and lose the capacity all together.
In the course of reporting this story I had a chat with Friend of The Drift Sal Mercogliano, who is a maritime historian and a former civilian mariner who teaches at Campbell University. We discussed the possibility of pulling a little financial wizardry: Instead of overburdening the already jam-packed shipbuilding account, why not just break down and rebuild the Bonhomme Richard from the keel up with Operations & Maintenance money. Same ship … but not really. ....
