The tico being sunk in question is not as capible as the newer tico's also these ticos are older than the modern ones port royal is what 10 years old i dont see america wanting to replace them for atleast another 30 years the carriers are to last 52 years the ohios 42 years each so they are building less units but they are making them last and they also build "future safe" vessles so in the future they can be changed to what the navy needs.

personaly i find that the units that waste the most money at the moment are

The origional 688's
The perry class FFG they need replacing by more capible modern ships
All the mine hunter force its not as capible as it should be it could be better
Auxilaries definatly need replacing most are 1970's 80's vintage
The spruance DD's are wasting money they have 31 Burkes and more building
