One statement from the link in the OP strikes me as funny, though, and below USNI's journalistic standards: "After spending the last decade placing an emphasis on building a fleet that could operate in shallow waters near coastlines, the U.S. Navy seems to have quickly changed its strategy over the past several months to focus on improving the capabilities of its deep sea fleet and developing anti-ballistic defenses."
Right. As if ship/weapon/sensor system aquisition programs that take years, if not decades, to come to fruition change in just a few months.
