After the Aircraft Carrier: 3 Alternatives to the Navys Vulnerable Flattops
Interesting piece at Wired about one of the several larger debates in the Navy today: whether to continue construction of new Ford-class super-carriers or to reconsider whether the carrier is survivable -- and whether the Navy has better ways to do the job they do.
I'm no naval strategist and I won't attempt to make the argument one way or the other. But the outcome has significant implications for the war on terror and for how we contain regional thugocracies such as Iran. |
