Speaking at the Heritage Foundation on October 27,\u200c the former Naval officer proposed\u2064 a modernized &#8220;four-oceans navy&#8221; consisting of nearly 400 ships, captivating American\u2062 voters with his ambitious plan.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis is determined to rapidly expand the current number of ships, setting a goal of 355 ships by the end of his first term and 385 ships by the end of his second term. His ultimate objective is to establish a\u200b 600-ship Navy within the next 20 years, firmly setting his military branch on an upward trajectory.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2>Related Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/desantis-warns-china-key-player-behind-russia-ukraine-hamas-israel-conflicts-5518194?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\">DeSantis Warns China &#8216;Key Player&#8217; Behind Ukraine, Israel Wars<\/a><\/h3>\n<p class=\"text-comp-caption\">10\/27\/2023<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/desantiss-status-as-the-only-veteran-in-the-race-resonates-with-ex-military-citizens-5516509?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\">DeSantis&#8217;s Status as the\u200c Only Veteran in the Race Resonates With Ex-Military Citizens<\/a><\/h3>\n<p class=\"text-comp-caption\">10\/25\/2023<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Currently, the United States Navy has over 280\u2063 ships ready for deployment.

The number will then be further increased to 385 ships in the subsequent term.

He believes that strength, particularly in \u2063the region, is crucial to gain the respect of China\u2063 and maintain peace. DeSantis quoted Winston Churchill, emphasizing the importance \u200cof keeping open and active the\u200d saltwater highways that connect our\u200c world.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, DeSantis aims to achieve technological dominance by redirecting funds from &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/prager-if-america-is-racist-why-have-millions-of-blacks-emigrated-here-did-jews-emigrate-to-germany-in-the-1930s\/\" title=\"PRAGER: If America Is Racist, Why Have Millions Of Blacks Emigrated Here?

He promises to reorient US foreign policy to prioritize\u2063 the region for defending US interests and\u200d security. The governor also emphasizes the need to reform export\u200d controls and \u200ccollaborate with allies to establish new supply chains\u200b free from the CCP&#8217;s influence.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis&#8217;s unwavering commitment to strengthening \u2063the US Navy and achieving peace through strength has resonated with supporters.

However, Governor DeSantis believes that this \u200cnumber is insufficient\u200d to meet the growing challenges and demands of the maritime domain.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis&#8217;s plan involves a comprehensive modernization effort that focuses on increasing the\u200c Navy&#8217;s size and \u200ccapabilities. He intends to build \u2063up the \u200dfleet by\u2063 adding a variety of ship classes, including aircraft\u200b carriers, destroyers, \u200bsubmarines, and amphibious warfare ships. This expansion aims to \u2062ensure that\u200c the United States Navy maintains its superiority and dominance over potential adversaries.<\/p>\n<p>The governor&#8217;s ambitious vision is fueled by \u2063his recognition of the increasingly complex and competitive \u200bgeopolitical landscape. As \u2062he \u200bstated during his speech, &#8220;We must \u2064be prepared to meet any threat \u200dthat comes our way, and a robust and advanced Navy is crucial to our national security.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis&#8217;s plan also aligns with\u200b the Biden administration&#8217;s agenda of building a more resilient and agile military force. President \u2062Biden has emphasized the importance of \u2064investing in new technologies and capabilities to counter evolving threats. The governor&#8217;s proposal provides an opportunity for collaboration between the federal and state \u200bgovernments, leveraging Florida&#8217;s strategic\u2063 location and existing \u200bdefense industry to \u200csupport the growth of the Navy.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to enhancing the Navy&#8217;s\u2062 numerical strength, DeSantis also emphasized the need to invest in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-outlines-major-shift-hed-make-in-u-s-military-what-he-looks-for-in-vp-ag-candidates\/\" title=\"DeSantis's Military Shift &#038; VP\/AG Preferences\">cutting-edge \u200ctechnologies<\/a> such as unmanned systems, artificial intelligence, and cyber capabilities. He believes \u2064that these \u200cadvancements will not only improve operational efficiency but also ensure that the Navy remains at the forefront of technological innovation.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, DeSantis \u200chighlighted the economic benefits that would accompany the expansion of the Navy. The\u200c increased shipbuilding \u200dand maintenance activities would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ca-gop-attorney-eric-early-runs-for-senate\/\" title=\"Eric Early, a GOP attorney, seeks Senate seat.\">generate job opportunities<\/a>, stimulate the local economy, and support the defense industry in Florida.<\/p>\n<p>While Governor DeSantis&#8217;s plan\u2063 is ambitious, it demonstrates his commitment to national security and his\u200b determination\u200b to strengthen \u2063the United States Navy. His proposal has resonated with many\u200d Americans who recognize the importance of maintaining a strong navy in \u200can ever-changing\u2062 world.<\/p>\n<p>However, the realization of his vision will require considerable funding\u200d and support from both the federal government and Congress. The cost of\u2064 building and maintaining a 600-ship Navy over the \u200dnext two decades is estimated to\u2062 be substantial. Therefore,\u200b Governor DeSantis will \u200bneed to rally bipartisan \u2062support\u2062 and work\u200b closely with federal stakeholders to secure the necessary resources.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis&#8217;s ambitious plans to revitalize the United States Navy have garnered attention and support. \u200bHis proposals for significant fleet expansion and technological modernization aim to ensure that the\u200b Navy remains a formidable force capable of protecting national security and projecting American power worldwide.
