Sorry, the above numbers are a reflection of what Russia and the US has done since 1990, the US has continued to maintain a massive Military, the Russian have cut they's to the bone. One Carrier and 10 other ships is the price a country pays for a trade surplus, balance budgets, over twice the growth, with an unemployment rate a 1/3 lower then the US.

What would the US economy be if the US military was cut to one carrier and 10 other ships? At first we would be hurting, as was Russia in the 1990s, but it would turn around and we would be booming like Russia is today.
