I was an elisted man on the USS ENTERPRISE and I was a submarine officer for 5 years. I have been to sea many times. There was a time that my submarine could have sank a carrier 10 times in a day.

Let me turn your question around on you. “Ok HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN AIR SUPERIORITY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN?” How do you maintain air superiority in the middle of the ocean (discussion point later) when all of your carriers are sunk?

Tell me of a Naval battle that happened in the middle of the ocean. Your ignorance of naval history is glowing.

Peacetime exercises where subs start out in perfect position.....

If our criteria is that a weapons system is no good or obsolete if in any way vulnerable to enemy counter weapons then there are no weapon systems that are useful and non obsolete.
