Reply to comment by Aeredor in At what point do you expect surface combatant ships to become obsolete? Is there any paticular key system thay might be the cause of this obsolescence? by BluntBastard
As the Gerald Ford rolled off late last year I came to a conclusion that a single hypersonic missile that costs maybe $300MM could wipe it out in hours. Even with all the limitations and physical restrictions of hypersonic weapons there are workarounds. Navy is pretty 2 dimensional and slow: I imagine the navel defense idea might be gone by 2075 but hey we all might be gone by then.
