It's all the Zumwalt class' fault...big fat gizmo'd up the ying-yang stealth critters are expensive and munch huge chunks out of your budget...

The Burke's are solid platforms, it's too bad many of them have to bear the brunt of the cuts.

Then again, the Sealift ships have been largely ignored for some time...they need upgrades and new ships bad...but the line ships are getting the resources...existing logistics will only get you so far...

Not like we can afford a lot of action in multiple locations...winners and losers will be picked...
