People always plan for the last war they fought—not the new war coming. Our carriers are floating coffins as is our tanks. We might be better off with Battleships—they can survive better even when hit with a small nuke.

You may have noticed that the US Army has been shedding tanks for quite a few years, and the USMC has just eliminated their tank battalions completely.
I would say this indicates that the tank is assuming a different tactical role within the overall US warfighting doctrine, and that when the tank is replaced it will be with something other form of armored mobile platform. Because armor is the only way you retain mobility.
We’d be better off using stealth subs than surface ships. Times have changed from WWII.

Alfred Thayer Mahan you are not.
