Adequate naval power carries double price tag
The study estimates a future naval force of three new aircraft carriers and twenty escorts with a new missile and air defense system at 6.44 to 7.12 billion, contrasting a smaller carrier fleet favored by the administration. It frames a debate between power projection via carriers and sea lane control with smaller ships, noting potential cost cuts under a new administration beginning January 20 and possible savings of 2 to 2.5 billion. The paper questions whether naval missions justify high carrier emphasis and outlines challenges in a U.S.-Russia war, including keeping seaports open for reinforcements and the difficulty of projecting air power against strong Soviet defenses.
