What is the US Navy’s fleet going to look like?

These incredible, almost 500 ships in the hands of one country are to be a response to the challenges posed by other countries, especially the Russian and especially the Chinese navy, which is developing its fleet and shipbuilding industry at an alarming pace. Such a plan also applies to a changing world as the United States moves from counter-terrorist operations in Central Asia and the Middle East to the challenges posed by the powers and their great advanced armies in the Indian and Pacific region (INDO-PACOM) and the Arctic.

Among the mentioned 500 newer ships are:

12 aircraft carriers
9 L-class large-decker aircraft carriers
19-20 amphibious assault ships
~ 60 destroyers
50 frigate
70 attacking submarines
12 submarines with ballistic missiles
30 light assault ships
okręty LCS (Littoral Combat Ships)
100 support ships
150 unmanned floating drones
