Will there ever be another naval battle or should we just scrap all these expensive toys?
Very good question(s).
I suspect large ships are very near the point where they’re just really big targets.
Saw a bit about railguns. Very difficult to see how a round from one could be stopped or diverted.
Since the end of the Cold War, US naval forces have been restructured with a focus on projecting power ashore, or supporting the projection of power ashore.
