Report: US Navy Unprepared for War, Sailors Get Diversity Training Instead of Combat Training Thereportwas commissioned in response to several high-profile issues with the Navy’s surface fleet, including the surrender of two small amphibious craft to Iran in the Persian Gulf in 2016, ship collisions in the South China Sea and off the coast of Japan in 2017, and a 2020 fire aboard the light amphibious carrierUSS Bonhomme Richardin San Diego, which led to the ship being scrapped. The report was assembled out of 77 interviews with current and former officers in the Navy. While there were multiple aspects of the culture that came under fire in the report, the most glaring one was the encroachment of wokeness — which, no, didn’t just start when President Joe Biden took office in January. In a tradeoff between diversity training and preparedness, however, we lose the ability to defend ourselves against enemies that are rapidly arming themselves — particularly China, which is willing to spend massive amounts of money to upgrade its military and is utterly unconcerned with diversity training — with little tangible reward. In fact, the implication of the report is that the Navy is simply not prepared to defeat China in a military showdown.
