Proxmire decries costly nuclear carrier plan as floating target

Sen William Proxmire cites Navy cost estimates exceeding 30 billion to build and operate a nuclear carrier task force. He argues the plan creates a large floating target for advanced Soviet missiles and urges a 600 ship Navy with more smaller, maneuverable ships instead. Proxmire notes the 1982 budget funds start on the first carrier with future funding requested.
