The man in charge of the Navy's surface forces has rolled out a new plan to ready the fleet for a possible conflict with China and Russia and announced that he knows how many ships he needs to fend off the two nations.
But Vice Adm. Roy Kitchener is not saying what that number is, at least not publicly.
