HB of CJ, you are describing what the Chinese call "Unrestricted Warfare", which itself is a variation or development of what many military theorists call "4GW".
Widely dispersed forces, ones that are smaller, faster, less tied to a big logistics tail are indeed what will be needed. These forces will also use technologies in new and different ways (I picture UCAVs orbiting over ships and ground formations to provide the anti missile defense, since they have longer sight lines and can engage incoming weapons at longer ranges, for example). Of course, *we* should also be prepared to deal with 4GW and Unrestricted Warfare by being able to deal out the same sorts of punishment to our enemies. |

Really? The "Forrestal" suffered detonation of no less than nine 454 kg bombs directly on the flight deck. This was the worst possible situation, in the list that not affected the damage to underwater parts. And 11 day after she was repaired enough to return to operation. In the full-scale war condition, she would be able to return to operations less than 48 hours later. The supercarriers actually the pretty tough ships. Their hulls are immense. There is simply no way thay you could disable them without great expenses and a tremendous losses.
One problem. That fleet would be useless against full-scale aerial attack or missile strike with supersonic weapons. The pair of 949A would be able to just blow the "Corvettes, Frigates, Destroyers and perhaps a few Cruisers. A smaller aircraft carrier not displacing more than 25,000 tons max" to dust without really troubles. ------------------------------
Oh well, if shortening the front is what the Germans crave, Let's shorten it to very end - the length of Fuhrer's grave. (Red Army lyrics from 1945) |

Captain Kirk lives.

It ain't the Enterprise, but you have to crawl before you "Zum walk" Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense |

They have to tie up sometimes. Three hundred buck limpet mines.

And to think I was in the Navy when Admiral Zumwalt was CNO. Remember the MOD-Squad and the Z-grams. |
