Navy:
4 Arleigh Burke-class Destroyers, armed mostly with medium-caliber guns and anti-ship cruise missiles
1 Iowa-class Battleship, it has been refit to be used as an armed supply ship, rather than a full warship. The internal magazine stores mostly ammunition for other ships, or what ever is needed to be stored. Out of two removed guns, one is an elevator, while the forward turret has been converted into a platform for a small AA missile battery. The middle turret remains, however, it only carries half the ammunition the turret would normally have access to, and is intended to be used as a target-softening weapon or to sink enemy craft which come too close.
1 Ticonderoga-class missile cruiser, which carries a similar but heavier armament than the destroyers.
1 Ohio-class nuclear submarine, armed with tomahawk cruise missiles and anti-ship torpedoes.
2 Virginia-class submarines, refit to be powered by solar batteries and hydrogen fuels cells due to lack of ability to maintain three nuclear submarines, due to this the armament has been cut drastically, and is equal to that of more dated submarines. (such as those from the '70s)

3 Wasp-class amphibious assault ships, one of which can carry and support twenty fighter aircraft in place of landing craft.
