That is what having---and maintaining a large and well trained and equipped Navy gives you---not just the extension and mobility to place your forces wherever you need them--or may need them to be in future, but the ability to deny others that mobility and safeguard your own shores.

I'm starting to think we'd be better off with fewer but faster ships.
Do we need super-carriers when UAVs can sneak up on an enemy and blast him to whatever paradise he believes in?*
However, I'm not up on technological advances in ship design, so I'll leave any further speculation to the experts.
*Besides, the savings can be put toward building up our cavalry units.
