I am a Navy Mom forever! My daughter was a Navy Corpsman 18 years ago and served on a destroyer. Today she is married to an active Marine. God bless and protect all of our men and women who serve. 🇺🇲
Agreed. We are collapsing from within with all out traitorous leaders pushing destructive & frankly suicidal policies. I do not feel at this point it can be rescued since the system is now far to corrupt and will never be able to fix itself without unprecedented measures that people would never have the guts to implement. Plus 60 -70% of our population is dumb and has no clue about the constitution and bill of rights. Our population is simply undeserving of the freedom and liberty they seem to be willing to give away to our corrupt evil goverment.
Go Navy! As the son of a WW2 Navy Veteran and a Navy Vet myself I have complete confidence in our ability to defend the country from attack. My duty station was in CIC, the Combat Information Center where much of the planning and response occurs. That said, the Navy as one of the major military branches, works together with the Army, Marines, Airforce and Coast Guard to protect and defend our country.
Being a retired Sailor, I think our Navy would need the help of the Air Force, then the Army to protect US airspace and ground forces to protect the coast and borders. The US Navy would be the first line of defense
Also retired Navy, O6, and the USN is the worlds most powerful Navy, not the biggest but 1,2, and 3 are a joke, and second largest air force. The fleet could handle it and is tasked exactly with that role. The USAF is tasked with air cover for the Army and once over the US. PRC, Russia, and NK count all their little ships and we have seen how capable the Russian Fleet is. In terms of tonnage the USN is 2.5x China and needs to be twice that.
30 yrs ago I would have said never in a million years, today.... Sadly I'm not as sure. The one thing that should have never entered the armed forces is POLITICS.
Unfortunately, it's politics that has enabled our military to decline to such a level that's enabled our Enemies to believe they can get away with attacking our Country and winning that ATTACK‼️👹‼️ Worse yet, is their not unrealistic belief that
Just the Navy? We also have an Army, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, NORAD, Air Force, National Guard, an ally or two, and those who appreciate the Second Amendment to protect our nation.
@@realistic.optimist Don't presume and don't patronize me. I'm a US Navy veteran and you should be aware that it would require ALL the services to coordinate a successful defense, plus an armed militia of citizenry.
@FriendBears Too new to know if it will be effective. BUT, I remember Senator (Later POTUS LBJ) and his words about the Russians (or Chinese) lobbing missiles from the moon like rocks from a highway overpass.
The Navy needs the start of Project Intruder - (1) Lord boats with surveillance and kamikaze drones - (Re)build the WW II littoral-designed Higgins boats and the Vietnam fiberglass hull Patrol Boat, Riverine (PBR) into a new and larger steel 21st century littoral-working Lord boat. The design looks like a LARGER (!) modified U.S. Civil War U.S.S. Monitor (without the turret) and a flat carrier SEALED deck, ... with automated open-and-close launch portals for surveillance and kamikaze drones. There is a small elevation, stern located, aircraft carrier style bridge, housing 3-4 people, and a massive armament inventory. (2) Lord missile carrier boats with smaller vertical rocket-missile launch tubes - This is the smaller brother of the huge AEGIS missile launcher. Smaller and many ATACMs provide additional firepower with anti-personnel defensive and offensive operations, intruding into the deepest of terrain waterways as highly mobile FOBs. (3) Lord torpedo/missile carrier boats with smaller horizontal torpedo/missile launch tubes - Advanced concepts of the WW II plywood PT-109 and Vietnam fiberglass Patrol Boat, Riverine (PBR) torpedo armaments. Just sitting and waiting for prey ... or going on stealth predation against mobile or fixed location sites, vehicles, air craft, and/or vessels. (4) Use the Lord boats as mobile FOBs with their massive and smaller diverse inventory. Because these are smaller and more mobile FOB inventory, their sealed flat tops can undergo extensive ocean or tidal wave actions (of high waves washing over the boat's surface without damage or sinking). They become literally unsinkable in most-nearly-all wind-weather-wave situations. They can get into smaller littoral depths, where other naval vessels can't sail, or penetrate inland waterways. In any littoral battle, Lord boats can protect offloading and swimming tanks and amphibious vessels onto the shoreline, while providing close sea/waterway -air protection for oncoming military forces. (5) As smaller littoral depth, shoreline, and inland waterway shore vessels - with temporary movements and stationings, Lord boats can do more than all of the bigger ships or PBRs, with their many designs and massive inventory of smaller controlled devices. The Lord boats are more mobile than Army land-based inflexible artillery and battery locations, as they are easily moved and sailed into and across any riverway, estuary, or delta location, ... assume a position, fire, and quickly relocate to another location. (6) Even as Ukraine has developed 17 pound downward exploding kamikaze drones that can take down tanks ... the same design of forward and downward explosive warhead ... can overcome bigger armaments that are easier to be shot down ... massive numbers of naval attack mosquitos are able to penetrate into defensive lines of fire and take down batteries, command and HQ, ship's bridges, telecom towers, and blow up and disrupt the ship's carrrier deck, surface sailor population, or ships' surfaces. (7) With recent European Russian-Ukraine events (and a 1989 classified document), the subject of having small evelation Lord boats floating throughout the entire European (and world) waterways as decentralized FOBs with extensive mobile firepower is validated. Lord boats can traverse the ENTIRE European (et al) waterways and shallow depths where other ships and boats can't operate. Lord boats can float under all of the European low elevation vehicle, passenger, and rail bridge works and keep moving to their destinations. (6) These same Lord-designed boats can also be used in (MOBILE !) FOB locations in the Arctic Ocean strategic locations for Navy and Coast Guard expanded operations. (7) Other stealth operations will not be mentioned here.
If I am to invade, I would worry a lot more about over 300 million quite pissed and heavily armed residents. No military in the world has enough power to overcome that.
The reason why US builds world strongest Aircraft Carrier. It work as well as barrier, preventing any enemy war ship approaching US continent. The only threat come to US is by the SEA.
Our military would be working together in an invasion situation, we could hold them on the beaches, then the coast range, the cascades and best of all, the Rockies, especially in winter...in the movie "Pearl Harbor" an advisor to FDR says after the attack "if they invade now we can't stop them till Chicago", yeah right the Rockies in December, in 1941, twenty feet of snow in the pass, another winter war....
In a practical scenario the navy assets could be destroyed by an enemy but an invasive on US mainland is impossible in any scenario, even if it is possible they have to invade Canada first
we have down graded the entire military, the leaders have gone woke and not leading, i would hate to say not sure we could defend, and that is a shame , i spent 24 yrs defending our nation and other free nations and now am ashamed of the usa
The U.S would still have a bigger navy than both Russia and China put together in overall tonnage. We aren't even talking about all are allies on both of these countries asses coming in strong.NATO,Japan, Australia, the Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan, South Korea, Vietnam, Mexico and I am sure I am missing a couple more countries. If you really think Brazil,India and South Africa would want any of this battle,your poorly mistaken.They know what the outcome would be.It would be a war that would be fought at sea,and they would be in our backyard.Even if somehow North Korea got their ancient subs this far,they would be the first to be blown out of the water.Even right now with Russia in the carribean, the U.S is taking it with a grain of salt because they no better.If they had anything stupid in mind,they would not of sent just one of their nuclear subs.If they sent more,the U.S would be all over them like white on rice.
The US navy does not prepare for an invasion of the west coast. That’s preposterous. There is no country in the world that has the capacity to move millions of troops across the world’s largest ocean, let alone land them while under fire from the 17,000 land based aircraft in the Air Force. Even without any intervention from the navy (which of course there would be) this would be a completely inconceivable insurmountable challenge. These aren’t the days of WWII- even the US lacks the capacity for such foreign adventurism, and our capacity for moving troops is pretty considerable. This is all just fiction. Don’t take it seriously.
with Space Force they'll all be shark food. Even if some of them make they'll never get past the gangs. And if thats not bad enough the high powered rifle with scope deplorables are just a few miles inland. I hear there are a million deer hunters just in pennsylvania.
Do Russia and China have any Idea on how many countries would be on their asses in this scenario. They would be doomed as soon as they got off their own coasts in each Ocean.Russia in the Atlantic, and China in the Pacific.
Take out some satellites in space, and the us military is doomed, the US. don't train without Electonics. do the US. military have a backup plan for if this was to happens. I don't think they could get back home without satellites.
Let's be honest USA is the last country you would like to invade this country is a Military Fortress even citizens have guns big goodluck as you wont even be able to reach even the waters to it before coming to citizens😂
I am proud Navy Veteran from the mid '70's and the US NAVY could have before but now with the SECNAV wanting "WOKE" people in the Navy I have my doubts.

True Team and Trust of all our military members.
As it is configured today and in the next 10 years, the answer is no, it is not prepared for a major war and invasion of the US mainland.
Don’t forget that Americans own their own weapons.

The Navy would'nt have to fire a single shot. The space Force would take them out before they even go close.

Do you mean from within? if so it's happening right now.
America is too far away, for us to be surprised. How is an enemy going to transport manpower, across huge oceans, without us first knowing ?
It's already happening through Biden's open borders!
