Yes your point is valid now. How much does it cost to develop and build an aircraft carrier? How much does it cost to develop and build better anti-ship missiles? How hard would combatants object to use of tactical nukes over the ocean? Why are we still chucking rockets with men attached to them into the air when a rocket without men is cheaper and able to pull more Gs?
