Time marches on. Space will be the next battlefield, and technology will replace most of what we see of today’s surface navy, imho. Smart, ai enabled, and super fast vehicles will be able to transit great distances very quickly and eliminate much of what today’s carriers project.
Resistance to change is a human failing, and no organization resists change quite like the military. Washington does love these super expensive weapons systems (a large, deep trough for many to feed from), so I don’t expect to see much in the way of change.
