Secretary of the Navy sinks plan for new frigates at Naval Station Everett

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

EVERETT— A plan to house a dozen guided missile frigates promised for Naval Station Everett is dead after Secretary of the Navy John Phelan scrapped a contract to build the Constellation class ships.

Phelan announced on social media and in a statement back on Nov 25, that he wanted to reshape “how the Navy builds and fields its fleet.”

“Today, I can announce the first public action is a strategic shift away from the Constellation-class frigate program,” Phelan said.

He promised in a video on X to “not spend a single taxpayer dollar unless it contributes directly to readiness and our ability to defeat future threats.”

Sounds like they want to spend the money on the USS Bonespurs, Trump's new battleship.

1. So does that mean China has stopped making subs?

Modern Frigates are made for anti-submarine hunting. The very reason battleships no longer matter.
