Yes, the USN has a wide variety of major problems.

But the article gets enough details wrong that I didn't bother to finish it.

Above a threshold of size, all organizations are the same, because none of them can any longer do what it says on the sign: the only thing they can do is just be an organization.

History shows that under sustained existential pressure, many once-moribund military organizations have staged remarkable comebacks in functionality.

But as the article points out, American's deindustrialization makes it pretty delusional to imagine the USN achieving that in the next decade or few.
