Naval power isn't easily measured with statistics. The capabilities of a single US 100,000 ton aircraft carrier overwhelms entire fleets, unless their capabilities include long-range anti-ship missiles or submarines. Then adding tonnage won't help the US; they need capabilities to counter those two threats.
- bmitc 3y agoYou should look into it. I wasn't referring to canoes. Even then, you're wrong. Number of ships and ability to replace ships correlates to wins in times of conflict.
- wolverine876 3y agoI actually know it pretty well. > Number of ships and ability to replace ships correlates to wins in times of conflict. Do you happen to remember a source for that? I'd be interested.
