That's a weak strawman argument.
The fact that spying on foreign enemies now requires the capability to spy domestically is definitely a red flag. But saying we don't need infosec when that Naval Carrier Strike Group can be owned, rendered useless by a cyber attack is naive.
Moreover, rogue hacker groups from all across the world posess the power to covertly & remotely target critical infrastructure of virtually any nation. What good is a Naval Carrier Strike Group going to do against that?
