One of the key tools of the 9/11 attacks were box cutters.
It's said the Russians influenced - and are still influencing (per Mueller) - our elections and (said) democratic processes with a few buckets of cash and some well placed internet misinformation.
The threat of a cyber-attacked is very real.
And we're still building multi-billion-dollar 20th century-minded war ships???

That's the thing that gets me. If the US is going to buy naval ships, at least get ones with a real purpose.
The ships that are good against 3rd world nations are something like patrol boats. Cheap, small, fast boats with a shallow draft.
The ships that are good against 1st world nations are submarines. Everything else will get sunk by ballistic missiles. One of the side effects of the second space race is that the knowledge to build medium range ballistic missiles is becoming increasingly more common.
To a certain extent, it doesn't matter what the US builds; the last time it's been challenged militarily was the Korean War. It doesn't matter... until it does. And at that point, it'll be too late.
