Well, if they are NOT thinking about this kind of change, they should be fired.
Now, about the idiots who them INTO the situation like this .....
Since WWII, a single hit on every destroyer-sized ship has resulted in that ship losing command, control (power, propulsion, steering), communications, weapons (or all of them) for periods of 2 hours up to years. Even dud weapons put a ship out of action: Unable to fight, flee, or even turn the lights on.
We used to brag of wooden ships and iron men.
Today? Tin boats and wimpy admirals.
