128-bit submarine vs 32-bit destroyer reminded me of IPv6 vs IPv4.

Its fairly distinct. A destroyer is like owning a bunch of submarines, in a way. This is the one point where the model kind of breaks this layer, though.

Basically, it can't run out of address space because of the abundance of subs.
