Hey!
Let’s build thin skinned aluminum warships instead of those clunky, heavy old style ships with thick armor plating!
We’ll make it faster and more maneuverable so it can outrun those Mach-2 ship killer missiles.

Sounds like a plan. LOL
We can make them remote controlled too.
WW2 Demonstrated that even heavily armored battleships were vulnerable to bombs dropped from planes. A mach 2 missile with a thousand pound warhead will kill any ship.
