It has been obvious for decades that Americas beloved, insanely expensive, carrier groups were weapons of the past.

Every time this is mentioned the comments fill with naval fans pointing out that in fact carrier groups are invulnerable due to layered defenses and air support.

Whenever vulnerabilities are demonstrated, most famously by Sweden's cheap, quiet, diesel electric subs ability to sink carriers during war games so effectively the US begged to borrow one for training, the fans just return to their talking points.

YouTube has a library of videos like this.

Yet reality bites. The truth is the most aggressive administration in living memory is afraid to sail into troubled waters for fear of losing materiel.

The age of carriers is over. Dinosaurs in an age of mammals.
