Sounds like an Australian problem to me

They don't need to. They purely exist because "oh shit that was cool", much like many other things in life, that's all there is to it. Also this is a shit thread with a shit premise based on b8 and maybe h8. Nigger.

They're pretty rad to look at but that's about it.

I don't really know why we have them aside from advertising the navy.

>they protect nothing
They protect the Navy's budget, to the tune of more than is spent on them; once you factor in their effects on recruitment, retention, etc etc.

They protect me from boredom
