What can Washington do about it?
Harry J. Kazianis [2]
The aircraft carrier, a symbol of American naval and overall power projection capabilities, seems under the most threat of being rendered a relic of the past. Almost every week, a new report casts a dark shadow on the future of this important U.S. military asset. The same seems to be said for submarines and stealth weapons. Is America about to see some of its greatest military assets become obsolete?
The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. The nuclear-powered submarine. Ultra-advanced stealth bombers and fighters. These all represent the most lethal, sophisticated and expensive weapons in the U.S. military’s mighty arsenal—and they might soon all be close to obsolete.
Well, at least if certain technological trends bear fruit, according to a number of think-tank reports, research studies and in-depth essays that have been published over the last year.

Fishrrman:
Nuclear-tipped cruise missiles have rendered carriers "obsolete".
Particularly if a carrier has to deal with more than one coming in at once.

How many times have we heard this?
War is obsolete we might as well just give up now.
Smokin Joe:
Well, if all that stuff is obsolete, what's the big beef about people owning decent rifles?
