Stealth and 1st strike or stealth and a unblockable weapon.
Zumwalt got lucky. Sure they adapted, but looking at the timelines for the hypersonic missile development in 3 different countries should this not happen sooner? Looks like drunkwalking. They stumbled onto a solution by accident.
Being expert in your field means that you coming up with an idea sooner than the crowd or average joe would. That did not seem to happen. I question their dedication to learning and applying military science.
But it happened. Finally. It must mean one thing. Milley finished reading his first book on White Rage. So now he has time for other things. Like his job!
Sounds ok I guess but I still wish they had pursued and completed the rail guns for these highly energized ships.
