The issue is so pronounced that the US Naval Institute has been arguing against this carrier-first fleet design for years, saying that in the modern combat environment, carriers could be “little more than slow-moving targets.” http://tinyurl.com/m3e8r66 What isn't a surprise: the U.S. military wastes trillions with its arrogance. Only thing wrong with your account: The American Task Force and the French sub were practicing war games as they would in an actual sea battle. The American Task Force at one point assumed the role as the "enemy" and the French sub's mission was to attack and sink the carrier and other ships, which they successfully simulated. What's missing is that the American Task Force still provided command/control intel for the French sub as a participating ally, even though they simultaneously played the "enemy". A more accurate test would be to have no communications allowed, no sharing of command/control intel and to allow the American Task Force to take offensive/defensive actions against the sub. And to allow the use of real weapons. -- Guns don't cause problems. Gun owner *behavior* causes problems. |
