The air force army and marines all needed equipment and there just wasn't enough cash to fund everyone's needs. Instead of another Nuclear powered carrier the navy would have a carrier taken out of mothball and modernize it. Two new guided missile cruisers would be ordered not 4 and 5 destroyers would be built over the next 8 years. Two additional new SSNs would be authorized.

It's probably better to not just rotate the role of director, but also choose smaller members to avoid any perception of it being dominated by large nations. Can you please remind me of the number of members for the Terran Space Authority?
 
The Terran Space Authority consisted of the following member countries: United States of America, Kingdom of Hawaii, Great Britain, Kingdom of Ireland, Empire of France. Empire of Austria, Empire of Germany, Israel, Empire of Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Empire of Brazil, Neuva Granada and China
