The reason why the United States now has global hegemony is largely due to its powerful naval power. From the perspective of aircraft carriers, the United States has maintained more than the number of aircraft carriers in the world with a single country, and the true nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is only the United States. In the eyes of the world, the Charles de Gaulle is just a fake nuclear-powered aircraft. That's it. Of course, the United States also invests hundreds of billions of dollars in fiscal expenditures for the Navy.
The United States is very good at using its powerful naval power to deter "disobedient" countries. my country has also had a history of blood and tears with the United States-the crisis in the southern waters, but this is only to serve as a threat and deterrent. If the United States excludes Reorganize 3-4 aircraft carrier formations, so war is hard to avoid. In fact, it was Britain that invented the aircraft carrier first, but the United States eventually became a rising star. As early as during World War II, the United States had more than 150 aircraft carriers, but the aircraft carriers of that era were definitely not on par with modern times.
Even though the US Navy is so powerful, they actually have their own bitter history. The confrontation in the form of a country is shown on the international stage, but is there any confrontation within the country? Of course there is. Back then, the U.S. Navy and Air Force had secretly competed, and the purpose was also very simple. It was to win more financial funds. After all, financial allocations are fixed. The specific department depends on which department is more important for the overall development of the country. favorable.
During World War II, the U.S. Air Force achieved remarkable results. In the process of fighting against Japan, the U.S. Air Force’s “Tokyo Bombing” and “Hiroshima and Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Incidents” significantly accelerated the process of World War II and contributed to the victory of World War II. . But the U.S. Navy also made great contributions in the "Pacific War". But from the perspective of the U.S. government, they believe that the air force has a greater role. Therefore, the U.S. Air Force has been suppressing the development of the Navy during that period and received more fiscal and military expenditures than the Navy. This is why U.S. aviation technology developed so fast during that period.
The U.S. Navy was quite frustrated during that time, and even the then Secretary of Defense James Fulies was ousted by the military because of his naval background, and eventually suffered from depression and committed suicide. At that time, the United States was already building a 90,000-ton aircraft carrier. Due to the squeeze of the US Air Force's funding, the construction had to be stopped, and eventually it was ordered to be demolished. There were 15 generals who signed a letter in an attempt to turn the tide and save the aircraft carrier, but they were eventually ordered to retire early. Therefore, more than 200 related officers were implicated in the incident. It can be seen that the U.S. Navy is now strong because it conforms to the development of the U.S. national strategy, otherwise it will be frequently suppressed as before.
