Seablindness: How Political Neglect Is Choking American Seapower And What To Do About It
``
In his thought-provoking book, "How Political Neglect Is Choking American Seapower," author and maritime expert Dr. Sam J. Tangredi presents a compelling analysis of the decline of the United States Navy. Tangredi argues that the Navy has suffered from decades of political neglect, and that this neglect has left America's maritime power at a critical juncture.
The Roots of Neglect
According to Tangredi, the decline of American seapower can be traced back to the end of the Cold War. With the Soviet Union no longer posing a threat, the United States government began to reduce its investment in the Navy. This reduction in funding led to a decline in the number of ships, aircraft, and personnel in the Navy.
In addition to reducing funding, the government also began to shift its focus away from maritime power. The United States increasingly turned to airpower and land forces to project power around the world. This shift in focus left the Navy with a reduced role in American foreign policy.

The Consequences of Neglect
The decline of American seapower has had a number of negative consequences for the United States. First, it has made the United States more vulnerable to attack. A strong Navy is essential for defending the United States from foreign aggression. However, the Navy's reduced size and capabilities make it less able to deter or defeat potential adversaries.
Second, the decline of American seapower has undermined the United States' ability to project power around the world. The United States has traditionally used its Navy to project power and influence in distant regions. However, the Navy's reduced size and capabilities make it less able to do so.
Third, the decline of American seapower has damaged the United States' economy. The maritime industry is a major source of jobs and economic growth. However, the decline of the Navy has led to a decline in the maritime industry.
What Can Be Done?
Tangredi argues that the United States can no longer afford to neglect its Navy. He calls for a renewed investment in the Navy, and for a shift in focus back to maritime power. Tangredi believes that the United States must increase the size and capabilities of the Navy, and that it must develop new strategies for using maritime power to advance its interests.
Tangredi's book provides a valuable wake-up call for the United States. The decline of American seapower is a serious threat to the nation's security, economy, and global standing. Tangredi's recommendations provide a blueprint for reversing this decline and restoring the United States' maritime power.
"How Political Neglect Is Choking American Seapower" is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of the United States. Tangredi's analysis is clear and concise, and his recommendations are sound. The book is a timely and important contribution to the debate about the future of American seapower.
Call to Action
If you are concerned about the decline of American seapower, I urge you to read Tangredi's book. The book will provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions about the future of the Navy. I also urge you to contact your elected representatives and let them know your views on this important issue.
