As early as 1974, the United States Navy set the goal of a 600ship fleet. Soon after taking office in 1981, President Reagan endorsed that goal. Through rapid funding of new ships, the Navy expects to reach it objective by 1989. But recent Defense Department budget cuts, static or declining real resources for defense, and the retirement of numerous aging ships will make a 600ship navy difficult to attain. These developments indicate that the Navy has not adequately justified this decadeold goal and that a balanced alternative is needed. William W. Kaufman questions the Navy's maritime strategy as the basis for the 600ship fleet and analyses the Navy's role in nuclear deterrence, sea control, power projection and peacetime patrol. He concludes that a substantially less costly fleet of 560 ships, with 12 carriers, 220 other surface combatants, the amphibious lift for 1 Marine amphibious force and 96 attack submarines, will satisfy U.S. Maritime needs for the future.
