Things are so awful it’s hard to keep up and I genuinely have no idea what horrible thing this person is referring to

Constellation class, littoral combat ship, Zumwalt destroyer… all three failed modernization attempts. We are running destroyers designed in the late Cold War that do not have the space or power plant capacity for modern warfare. The DDG(X) program may have its funding pulled for trumps fuckass battleship. Our shipbuilding industry is so withered and decayed it’s not even funny. If you look into it, things are bad. Naval buildups occur over decades and we have continuously failed at modernizing

I’m pretty sure OP is spot on, all the most recent new ships designed with radical new technology have failed miserably so now we’re returning to ancient designs and even retrofitting coast guard vessels as navy ships just so we have boats on the water at all.

And nevermind the resources currently being expended due to Iran right now and how those will affect long-term preparedness
