In 1989, the United States Navy had 592 ships at its disposal for the defense and security of America’s shores and sea-trade routes. That number is now at 217, the weakest it has been since before America’s involvement in World War 1.
On the heels of Vladimir Putin’s annexation of Crimea, Russian bombing in the Levant, and an ever-more threatening Islamic Caliphate digging its fingers throughout the Western world, Obama has made one of the fundamental forces in America’s military unprepared for protracted battle.

Wrong matrix to use. The proper matrix would be fire power and the ability to forward project that power. Plus, Reagan wasted much of the military budget on weapons such as the MX missile and B1 bomber. And it is highly misleading to suggest Obama cut the numbers from 592 down to 217, even though those 217 can deliver more ordinance on target over a wider area than the 592 could under Reagan.
