Wall Street Journal Opinion Article by Mark Helprin.
China's navy increases, USA's decreases, but our new ships of today are more effective than Reagan's 600 ship navy of 30 years ago.These ships are awesome.
Regarding the Somali murders; there are no verified reports as to what our navy's actions at that time were. Dealing with hostages, requires delicate negotiating.
We should remember, these Somali pirates and could care less about threats from a navy gunship. Swift action by our navy after the murders should have followed, by the Commander in Chief ordering retaliation on the mainland.
