That’s akin to claiming we no longer need cargo ships because we have planes that can do overnight delivery.

Air power is great but incredibly dependent on logistics.

The navy is and always has been essential to protecting trade and maintaining global supply lines So long as the sea remains the dominant method of transporting resources around the globe, sea power will remain essential.

Yeah i guess the comment wasn’t well formed enough, i wasn’t suggesting sea plays no part, sea likely won’t be the main battleground, but it of course will be part of supply lines and protecting supply lines. I felt that some diversion of value to allow for bolstering another might be a reasonable trade off. Anyway, i really don’t care all that much but sorry for triggering so many folk!
