Great point?
So if we can't put out say 25 full battle groups to fight the
mythical future scenario then we shouldn't do anything to deal with current situations?
What comparable sized military forces are the threat?
No other country has a navy or military of any size escept China.
For the next ten years or so the threat is islamic terrorism for which the BB's would serve quite well.
Are you saying that we should not meet that threat because of some crazy 8, 10, 12 front war in the future when there is no sizable adversary?
No. I asked a legitimate question based on having 2 BBs.
How do we provide sustainable firepower with what we currently have in inventory in a third theater of war? The question is to provoke some thought at what might me a very valid concern and in the not too distant future -- Pacific operations and the Gulf.
I suspect that good old American creativity will come up with something to meet the threat even if not ideal.
