The end products of a powerful navy are openness of the sea for commerce, protection of international peace, and national security.
Intelligence, when gathered in accordance with the law, is an invaluable resource in producing those end products.
Security may be something that many in the United States take for granted, but it is one of the basic requirements of human beings, perhaps even prior to food, water, and shelter on the hierarchy of needs.

- rbanffy 10y agoWhat goals? The "openness of the sea for commerce, protection of international peace"? It's about a nation's interests. We shouldn't pretend that, if those interests are better served by closing down the sea for commerce and waging war, the navy would do anything else. The navy is a tool of power and suppression of its enemies.
