Along with various medium to large cargo planes and the world's supply of flagged cargo carriers. I'm not sure there's that many "troops and other things" that require more transport, maybe heavy ammunition. Most of the military power sails or flies places.

China is building incredible 200x times more ships annually compared to the US. You can imagine what the military implications are.

Which is exactly what China buffs would say until their boot is on the world's face. I'll keep fearmongering, thank you very much.

I don't watch YouTube but here a mariners take.

I notice that there is a very large Car Carrier in Norfolk Drydock getting painted white to grey.

Looks like they are converting commercial vessels to military use.

I can't imagine how they handle in big winds. A giant sail like surface.

Flickertail State Crane Ship was recently out doing testing. It is old but capable.

Gaza Pier help was a bust. Those piers are not meant to be installed long term. We looked like clowns. Not Omaha Beach.
