Face it... In the age of drones, smart missiles and space borne weaponry - ships are big expensive slow moving targets. Besides the other death merchants want the money we'd be spending on ships.

Oh, and most American war ships are made with aluminum produced in Russian aluminum plants (like Mitch McConnel's) ... So there's the 'sneaky' aspect to consider.
