On first day of battle in WWIII all aircraft carriers become obsolete. That day will be as transformative as 12/7/41, the day the battleship became obsolete or 3/8/1862 when the Merrimac made every ship in every navy obsolete.

brilliant observation there ...

that explains why the US Navy built no more ships after 1862 ...

Maybe, but to assume somehow other countries have surpassed all capabilities of the US military I think is equally naïve.

The real strength often lies in a mixture of competent personal and logistical resources.

Amateur’s argue tactics and strategies, military professionals manage logistics.
