In addition to what Ramana said, the root cause / pain point is not the warfare capability of the warship, but the very fact that the political system (and its elites) are incentivied to keep the armed forces weak by delaying the procurement that are need for today's war fighting culpability to buying it after 20 years when the ship problem that existed 20 years ago and not the current threat/warfare.
Cowering the Navy to be on its knees and begging alms of what every trash it can get today by paying few cents now and paying a dollar recurring expense to keep it afloat every year is OTOH untenable. US is IMHO teh last source to get any mil eqpt, even the trashed mil eqpt too.
