The fleet of the U.S. Navy has dropped from 594 ships in 1987 to around
280 ships today. This represents the smallest Navy in our Nation's
history since 1917. For over a decade, the nation has been ordering
just six new ships a year, on average. This is the lowest rate of naval
ship production since 1932, and if continued, our Navy will shrink to a
fleet of 180 ships. While the Navy's fleet is on a dive course, the need
for a larger and more capable fleet is more imperative now than at any
other time in our history.
You can help to ensure that America's naval fleet remains the most
powerful in the world. Please send a message to Congress and other
decision makers and urge them to do everything they can to restore
American sea power in the 21st century. The "Take Action" can be
completed online and only takes a few minutes to complete.
