This appears to be an AMCE designed, Wile E. Coyote Special.

Speaking of lots of production, here's an impressive photo, likely taken within a dirigible/blimp hangar at Lakehurst or Moffet Field, showing Navy/Marine fighters and a few dive bombers staging for further transport to the war zone during World War II. The monthly production figures were staggering and the logistics of getting them forward were formidable.

The USA was pretty much sleeping when Pearl Harbor happened. Things ramped up rapidly after that. All it takes is motivation. Pearl Harbor was the motivation.

Besides the will. It takes people who can do basic labor too.... which is sadly lacking in today's world. I work in manufacturing and you'd be shocked at the amount of people you wouldn't trust with a screwdriver. Now add 1000x more complexity...

They have certainly modernized their fleet since the '80s when they were still flying old Soviet aircrafts with questionable safety records.

Starting just after World War II, the helicopter revolutionized naval warfare, replacing floatplanes and other types. Of the thousands of U.S. Navy pilots on active duty, the largest sub-group? Helicopter pilots. More of those than the tactical jet or other categories.
