But railguns might demote aircraft carriers from their current big-dog naval status and bring in electric dreadnoughts as the capital ships of tomorrow

For this very reason, the wide spread use of railguns will never occur.

If it don't fly, it's not sexy and from everything I've heard, the navy brass is all about sexy.
