Where is this imperial core you keep mentioning?

Probably start with where all the giant battleships come from: https://www.businessinsider.com/magnitude-of-us-naval-dominance-2013-11

Why does the USA need all those battleships if they're not doing imperialism? Are they just cosmetic battleships? Just for shits and giggles?

They asked a question in good faith, and have since gotten it clarified. No need to be hostile.

I was answering his question, not trying to be hostile. I did not insult him at all. Just voicing my opinion.

Ok, so the imperial core is in DC to you, got it. The previous reply is more thoughtful than that.
