With almost all attacks since World War 2 seen as "over the horizon" attacks all battle management focus for the US Navy has gone into information management and situational awareness. Many "attacks" in modern warfare aren't in fact even seen or heard anymore. A sick sailor as a weapon, a sleepy Admiral. These are the battles of Modern Navies. | |
