Soviet Navy gains edge as firepower narrows gap with U S
Retired British officer Capt John Moore, editor of Jane's Fighting Ships, argues in New Book that the Soviet fleet now possesses the most potent firepower of any navy. He notes a closing, and potentially opening, gap with the U S Navy, despite continued American superiority in carrier aviation and crew skill. He cites 1973 carrier appearance, Russian ship design, and large numbers enabling rotations for maintenance, warning Congress of a rising threat to U S naval dominance.
