Oscar IIs (with the AM refit) and Delta IVs are critical assets that could serve for years, as without those we would loose critical capabilities (ie at sea deterence which is not possible with 3 Boreis split between 2 fleets).
Same goes for other major combatatants - the build rate of new ships is not limited by funding, it is limited by the industrial capacity, so by decomisioning you can't reinvest those savings into new platforms, you just get a loss in capabilities. Building the specific (by you) number of new platforms would take forever, even if we are optimistic.

Carrier is an example of such capabilities, with MiG29Ks it could now project our airpower abroad, just like we are doing now in Syria.
