After WWII the US Army had approximately 127,000 ships, boats and water craft of their own.
Why did the US Army have so many ships and boats? Were any of them combat capable?

The US Air Force also had their own boats. Tenders are small and could be owned by either component of the armed forces.
Understood. Then why didn't the USAF just push for ownership of the carriers
