What Happens if a Navy Aircraft Carrier Is Sunk?
Are carriers too big to fail?
by Henry Holst
Are carriers too big to fail? If so, U.S. policymakers need to break
themselves from the assumption that carriers are the end product of the
evolution of naval technology. The United States must maintain its
leadership role in military innovation; not fall into the age-old trap of
other great powers by absconding modernization and relying instead on time-
tested dogma and tradition. In the future our carriers and Navy servicemen
may pay the ultimate price due to our complacency and failure to innovate. http://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/what-happens-if-navy-aircraft-carrier-sunk-29207
