Change or Sink: Why Aircraft Carrier Strategy Must Evolve
American naval forces are not a tool for strategic strikes. Instead, they should be used operationally, to provide strategic affects.

Here's What You Need To Remember: This work is about naval aviation in an era of contested sea control. This era will require airborne forces to re-examine the assumptions of the past six decades of naval aviation, retooling the air wing for maritime strike. This will require radically different magazine selections on the carrier, likely some new weapons, including higher-capability anti-ship weapons, and a total retooling of air wing certification and training regimens. Aircraft carriers have a huge role in future wars, but the retooling of their aircraft and their operational concepts must begin now.
