Huh?
The US Navy has more admirals than ships now. The fleet is the smallest it's been since post WWI (back when we had a considerably smaller population). That's what you get when your carriers are $15 billion apiece, and your subs are $3 billion apiece. Hell, the F-35 is twice as expensive as the Super Hornet (literally... Boeing offered a structured buy at $50 mil a copy, while the F-35C is still over $100 mil per copy).
When, with every new design, weapons double in price, pretty soon, you're not going to have very many weapons.

This has always been an issue for the Navy, number of Flag Officers!
