As one of the most powerful navies in world history, the United States can bring significant firepower anywhere. Between submarines, aircraft carriers, and destroyers, the United States Navy is more powerful than many land-based armies. Because some of its ships are so reliable, they can often be at sea for decades before decommissioning.

It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
