The navy also serves as a long distance port (I couldn't think of a better term). Basically you can't get a significant military force from point "a" to point "b" halfway across the globe without the navy.

They also are more easily made available giving certain situations and can more quickly provide support from coast to coast.

In a perfect world we wouldn't need a Navy like NME suggests but human nature allows for conflict on grand scales. The Navy is for conflict/situations involving long distances and open waters.


I don't know much about the navy so the above is just general come to mind statements honestly. Could probably think a bit more on it but meh, hope I helped some how. :beer:


1. Make assumptions about human nature.
2. Make assumptions based on that assumption about human nature.
and so on.

The Navy also assists with blockades and such for trade routes. Economic warfare basically...

There are still uses for a Navy, much of what EvaFan said is along the same lines of my feeling.

Generally, I'm not a millitary man, and probably never could be. But I understand the need for it and have great respect for those who are/were/will be in the military (of any kind.)

The human condition isn't an assumption, furfag.

I'm pretty sure the assumptions is what Kio is trying to gather here, hence his prerequisites.

Yes, I am trying to figure out what the average person thinks about the Navy. So far I hear about what I expected to hear from those who have actually given serious answers.
