So we followed the link and found the recurrence of this little gem:
Don’t sequester the common defense
By REP. TOM PRICE and REP. VICKY HARTZLER | 7/22/12 9:16 PM EDT….the smallest Navy since 1915….
An apt comparison because, as we all know, the world and the role and capabilities of the U.S. Navy hasn’t changed in almost a century.
If we could just build the Navy back up to thirty-nine battleships, seven coastal monitors, and three hundred fifty patrol craft we should be okay.
Were there any navies bigger than the US navy in 1915?
And, today, what navies are bigger than the US navy?
Does Missouri’s Bachman think we need to prepare to fight another battle of Jutland?
