Underfunding, whether by choice or by budget starvation, becomes less the "ok, I'm loosing one ship per turn now" and a more realistic approach to what would happen in this situation.
A good model to study on underfunding the military would be the current Canadian forces. Our Prime Minister, in his infinite wisdom, has our guys flying around in 40 year old "Sea-King" helicopters... often referred to as "Seeking Helicopters" because they keep seeking the ground mid-flight .
