I agree with Chock. I think the total war scenario is one thing, but let's say that one would suggest ICBMs as possibly an even better investment. But is that a war anyone is naive enough to plan on winning? :hmm:

The reality of things however is a lot of more limited conflicts where other ships can be better than subs at performing certain tasks that are very relevant. Carriers especially have a massive role in projecting power in these limited conflicts that subs can never replace (unless we have real, actual submerged carriers someday).
