Agreed...I was just pointing out that Burkes and Ticos would have to be committed to their defense in such an environemnt precisely because thay have no strong AAW defense.
Yep. I wasn't disagreeing with you. Not at all. Some folks around here are always saying "bring back the battleships", but they have no idea what is involved in supporting and/or protecting them. An ancient battleship in a war zone all by herself goes the way of the Adm Belgrano.
