NOTE

Evolution of U.S. Post-Cold War Policies and Navy

Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has shifted from a focus on global alliances, free market capitalism, human rights, and women's rights towards more economically nationalist policies. This shift began in the 1990s with a missed opportunity under George H.W. Bush and continued through the presidencies of Clinton, W. Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden. Alongside this policy shift, the U.S. Navy has transitioned from a 600 ship fleet with small vessels capable of maintaining global sea lanes to a fleet now comprising about 250 ships, mainly centered around aircraft carrier battle groups. This change has significantly impacted the Navy's ability to function independently and maintain the previous globalized network.
