I've always been one of those armchair military theorists who believes that the successful defense of the US can only be accomplished with a powerful Navy. I'm sure that most people would agree.
So, it seems that there's going to be a whole new ocean that's going to need patrolling, particularly since Russia and Canada have both expressed the opinion that it belongs solely to them. I don't think we'll be able to leave the Northwest Passage unpatrolled by US Naval vessels. That means a new fleet. Gosh. This global warming stuff has pocketbook impact. Who would have thought?
