Battleships!

Yesterday afternoon I appeared on Midrats to talk battleships. Terrific discussion, lots of skepticism about whether and why these things will be built, along with some detailed noodling on some of the relevant technologies and how they might mature.

Some links we talked about:

• Strategic logic and shipbuilding realities
• Why we don’t build battleships anymore
• The SLCM-N
• Distributed Lethality
• Challenges to US naval shipbuilding
