So you think you know more than the Admiral Staff of the US Navy? Do you not think they know the short comings of a CVBG? Do you think they rush head long into a situation where hostile subs are present.? Have you studied Naval warfare? Where? How long were you in the US Navy? What rank did you obtain?

I haven’t, but I have heard from other people who were, who say that people who have dedicated their careers to a particular specialist branch cannot bring themselves to admit that it has been rendered redundant or obsolete like horse mounted cavalry. Many of the high ranking navy brass in World War II who had grown up in the era when dreadnoughts ruled the waves became myopic and it coloured their judgment about how effective they were in the modern age compared to the aircraft carriers in their day.
