If your argument is that carriers are too vulnerable in today’s battlefield then I guess that would mean we wouldn’t need any cruisers or destroyers either.
I am not making an argument, I am asking the question.
Can we develop launchable unmanned fighters that can be deployed from almost any ship? Something like a reusable cruise missile, or even a cruise missile redeveloped into an unmanned light bombers or even just to get the enemy attention?
I’d like to see cruisers and destroyers able to do things like that.
