Commander Salamander Blog posted the above pic. Quite interesting and US cheerleaders (I include myself in that) will note the overwhelming power of the US Navy.
A couple of things though. First it doesn't count Amphibious Ships in the US roster of firepower even though it credits Japan. Additionally the chart ignores S. Korea and even Australia in this lineup. And my final point is that it should be noted that if you only count the power of the US Navy actually assigned to the Pacific then the lead we have shrinks considerably.
It might be time to take a serious look at our foreign policy. If you defend everything, you defend nothing...its time to prioritize our defense posture as defined by our interests and our interests alone.
