US Navy institutional habits and access to funding

Historical identity, bureaucracy, and access to spending can help or hinder the US Navy's choices.

Notes

The US Navy combines a strong historical identity with thoroughly modern capabilities in this institutional assessment. Its bureaucracy coexists with access to funding that can help it handle situations beyond other navies' resources. That combination is judged capable of helping or hindering the service as it considers new ship programmes.
