Questioning the Carrier: Opportunities in Fleet Design for the U.S. Navy

English

By (author): Jeff Vandenengel

The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is naval historys most powerful and versatile warship. It is the reason the U.S. Navy is the predominant force at sea today. Throughout its illustrious history, the carrier has overcome serious flaws, including its expense, vulnerability, centralization of combat power, and its airwings short range. The U.S. Navy always accepted those flaws because the carrier was the best means of delivering firepower. Todays technologies, however, provide key opportunities for the U.S. Navy to move beyond the limitations of a carrier-centric fleet by redesigning its force structure.

Questioning the Carrier examines how the U.S. Navy can embrace the Age of the Missile, network the distributed fleet, and diversify to develop a fleet that benefits from the aircraft carriers many strengths without being wholly dependent on them. By acting on those opportunities, the U.S. Navy can develop a structure that performs the carrier-centric fleets functions more effectively using a force consisting of more platforms with less total risk and within the same long-term budget. As adversaries are improving their ability to deter the carrier thus causing its utility to wane, the author examines the Navys past successes to show how it can overcome institutional resistance to change and continue to rule the seas.
