The Navy probably does. They haven't quite figured out a missile can
destroy a carrier further away than the operational range of the planes it
is carrying. They may even manage to lose one to a Houthi flying car bomb.

Congress fought over it for a couple of years but I believe the Navy
finally is allowed to scrap the Little Crappy Ships. No problem. I'm sure
Bath Iron Works and the companies that built the other version have cached
the checks and sent the 10% to the proper grifters.
The Navy ships programs are somewhat of a clusterfsck. Constantly shifting
requirements and cost overruns.
