quite a bit different (as is usual for HenryWorld)...

I.e., 2005, the last good year for shipbuilding until 2009.

Yeah, 2007 is gonna be a bitch, what with another CVN start and all...


And then it's 1 LPD, 1 Sub and 1 or 2 other warships until 2009.

I.e. for the years 2006, 2007 and 2008

"Our FY 2005 Budget request calls for construction of nine ships: three

Right, 2005, exactly.

Now let's look at those middle years.

Idiot. You think they snap their fingers and they slide down the ways that
same year? Those ships will be under construction throughout that
oh-so-terrible period you keep whining about.

2006: 1 SSN, 1 LPD, 2 LCS and a pair of auxiliaries.

2007: Finally another carrier after a long wait, 1 SSN, 2 DDX, 1 LPD, 1
LCS and an auxiliary.

2008: 1 sub, 2 DDX, 3 LCS and 1 LPD.

Counting LCS squadrons as warships, this is just about what I said

Bull****. What you said was "The last DDGs get started next year. And then
it's 1 LPD, 1 Sub and 1 or 2 other warships until 2009." That is a total of
four ships beside your DDG's (which should have read DDX). The actual count
is quite different, as you (finally) note below. So we have CVN's under
construction throughout this *terrible* drought you have created in your
tiny little mind, along with DDX's, LPD's, SSN's, LCS, and some less
glamorous support types that you are ignoring.

Henry, you are truly an idiot. And like most idiots, you are the only one
who can't seem to realize that fact.

above. And note that last year's plan was for 7 in 2006 and 2007 and 9
in 2008 for a total of 23 and this year's plan has cut that down to 6, 8
and 8 for a total of 22 and most of the "gain" is in LCS. (6 vs 4 in
the old plan.)
