After watching what missiles and drones are doing in Ukraine, I really believe the days of big naval ships are over. The Russians are having difficulty protecting their fleet vessels against aquatic drones and cruise missiles. Naval ships today are more of a sitting duck than ever. For over 40 years I predicted that modernized versions of PT style 'devil' boats would replace DDGs and CGs. What happened? The answer really coincides with all of the other monstrous mistakes the military has been making over a course of 40 years. An enemy force has taken hold of our military industrial complex and has been deconstructing our military. We have no hypersonic missiles. Even Iran and India has them now. The F-35 can't fly with any dependability. It's one boondoggle after another.
