At your convenience, please do provide historiographically credible sources as evidence to support your broad generalizations about modern naval history.
To be clear, the specific interpretation you offered follows.IMO, your argument requires you to provide evidence that the overwhelming majority of naval building programs and concurrent planning were for show, not fighting.

With respect, I disagree. The Maritime Strategy--along with its plans to build a "600 ship fleet"--reflected the U.S. Navy's intention to fight a global war against the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies.
