Indeed the USN has the technology and blind faith in it, but if we look back in history sometimes the simplest and cheapest solutions have worked far better than any technology.
A vintage bi plane crippled Bismarck
the T36 sloped its armor making it harder to penetrate and was much simpler than any German design.
a simple rubber skirt around the tanks side stopped the dust from the desert clogging up the engines
sometimes those who fail to learn the lessons of history will be doomed to repeat it are very apt.
