Bismarck was hardly a frail or fragile thing… Until a torpedo took out its rudder. The Repulse and the Prince of Wales were sunk in minutes. Yes, I am aware of the terrible punishment Lexington and Yorktown sustained before sinking and the astonishing pounding Enterprise endured without sinking. But I don't think even a modern Nimitz class carrier would fare well if struck by a bunker busting bomb or if it sustained a lucky hit.

I am not speaking of today's realities but the future nature of sea warfare.

Every plane can be shot down. Every soldier can be shot. Every tank blown up. Every ship can be sunk and every satellite intercepted. So what is your point? Why the war on the Navy?
