What are the US Navy's priorities

Washington Examiner Editorial:

As a Russian journalist helpfully reminded the world during the Ukrainian crisis, his country still possesses the nuclear weapons required to reduce the U.S. to “radioactive ash.” China possesses the same capability. And both nations are expanding their naval powers because control of the seas is a key to being a world power. 

So what's the U.S. Navy been doing while all of these developments have been happening? Among other things, spending millions of dollars tracking which Americans have received traffic violations and parking tickets, as well as who has been involved in fender-benders. Data about all of these national security threats is daily entered into the Law Enforcement Information Exchange (LinX) managed by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, according to a report by the Washington Examiner's Mark Flatten.

If there is an explanation for this data collection it is not obvious.  The Navy has made some noises about protecting us from terror attacks and perhaps they are using the data to see if anyone on the terrorist watch list is involved in a traffic stop.  At this point I am more concerned about money wasted on green energy fuel and the shrinking number of ships to meet the challenges posed by the newly aggressive Russian and Chinese fleets.
