In the year 2008 the fatal

Easterling

In the year 2008 the fatal flaw in naval warfare is that a ship only has to be sunk once. End of story.

That a multi-million dollar ship can be sunk using relatively inexpensive weapons is evidenced by the sinking of HMS Sheffield by one exocet missle in 1982 -

With the scientific/technological advances of the past 26 years in mind would it not seem prudent to assume that enemies of the USN have armed themselves with weapons capable of neutralizing any and all USN tactical and technological advantages?
