Revolutionary Shock at Sea

My favorite columnist on defense, Ralph Peters of the New York Post, examines the impact of the coming sequestration, and concludes he's for it. I'm not certain I agree with everything he says. However, much of it rings true, for example:

Our Navy is too small. Want a bigger one? Buy cheaper, smaller, faster ships. The next revolutionary shock in naval warfare is going to come when a second-rate power, such as Iran or North Korea, sinks one of our supercarriers.

You know that shock will happen, too. The question is when.
