Another uninformed article from warisboring. At least in this one they don't laughably assert the first ever air attack on a battleship happened at Pearl Harbor.
Unless I'm Googling the wrong David W. Wise, the author has never been in uniform and has no actual expertise in naval affairs. Most of the points in the article are regurgitations of dubious headlines ("CBG Never Detects Chinese Sub!"), and x vs y comparisons that don't make sense in isolation.
There is, though, a valid question buried in all the war nerd theorizing - what is it, exactly, Americans want their navy to do? Do we still expect to be able to fight a two front war against well armed adversaries? Now that the cold war is over, does it make sense to have alliances in Asia that require large force projection?
