The U.S. Navy is facing systemic problems, and the U.S. Congress intends to abolish the annual ship condition operation report.
According to the latest reports, if the US Congress does not immediately and urgently intervene, the US Navy's annual ship operation report will be completely abolished. The ship operation report is one of the most important annual routine plans of the US Navy, which directly reflects the operational health of the US ** boat.
The Ship Operation Report was originally produced in 1868 by the first Admiral Farragut in the history of the U.S. Navy and was chaired by the Commission of Inquiry. Since 1882, the U.S. Congress has formally passed the ship operation report in the form of legislation, which has been an important basis for the maintenance of U.S. naval equipment.
However, under the latest National Defense Authorization Act, the 2020 Ship Condition Operations Report will be the last, and the U.S. Navy will no longer be required to prepare the report annually as of October 1, 2021.
The US Navy is quite troubled by the shortcomings of this. Because the inspection commission is independent of the U.S. Navy's combat forces, the report annually exposes the grim state of the U.S. Navy's combat readiness. However, current budget issues and the pressure of global missions make it difficult for the U.S. Navy to change these dire conditions. As a result, ship condition reports have become a tool for attacking the Navy and cannot help improve support.
According to lawmakers, there are two main reasons for the abolition of the ship's condition operation report. First, the U.S. is working to reduce the number of such permanent reports, as investigations can be time-consuming and laborious, but in practice they are very difficult to change. Second, the U.S. military is concerned about reporting leaking classified information about the Navy to its adversaries. However, in fact, there are quite a few permanent reports that currently exist, some of which have little to no reference value. The ship's operation report is a very important text, which was forced to be abolished simply because it revealed the problems of the US Navy, exposing the major problems facing the US Navy.
It is worth noting that ship operation reports have historically been divided into two parts: public and private, the former does not contain important information, and the latter is a secret of the US Navy. Therefore, the US Navy is so worried about leaks that it shows that they are not confident in their secrecy work.
The most important reason for the abolition of the ship's operation report is that the United States is worried about the impact of the international ** on its global hegemony. The US military is the last pillar of hegemony, and if the US military fails, then the US hegemony will not exist. Secondly, the US Navy has poor ship support and an extremely low combat readiness rate of troops, which makes it difficult for the US Navy to solve this problem, and even the United States ** cannot provide sufficient resources. This is not only a problem for the US team, but also a problem for American society and the country. The U.S. has systemic corruption and rising costs of social management, and the working population is comfortable but facing a pandemic and a widening gap between rich and poor. The upper classes are addicted to pleasure and are powerless to cope with the increasing risks and challenges.
In recent years, there have been a number of alarming accidents and problems in the US Navy. Last year, for example, the USS Good Richard's amphibious assault ship caught fire, and the ship's damage management team did not find the cause until 72 hours later, which eventually led to the ship's dismantling. There were also fires on a number of US National Guard ships. The coronavirus outbreak has paralyzed the combat effectiveness of several aircraft carriers, with Ford-class aircraft carriers, DDG-1000 destroyers, LCS littoral combat ships, and F-35 fighter jets all facing reduction plans. In addition, a large number of Burke-class destroyers were rusted on the world's oceans and, although combat readiness missions continued, were seriously damaged.
