I’ve never heard any suggestion Aircraft Carriers were being considered Obsolete.
News to me.
I remember reading that new hypersonic ‘ship killer’ missiles would obsolete the Aircraft Carrier. Years ago.
At $13+billion a carrier, the Ford Class is still incomplete and untried. Wouldn’t it make sense to get 5 drone carriers at ecen $2billion per?! I don’t know an actual cost, but in terms of effective use of limited resources, it would seem to be worth considering.
They’ll be replaced by drone carriers.
