Thinking Aloud About Tactics

Im not too sure if it is even possible today, with the invention of AEGIS the threat of cruise missiles is very low, plus (I have not heard this from any of you yet) Standard carrier battle group formation ALWAYS includes 2 (sometimes 1) SSN's, Los Angeles Class for the U.S.

The SSNs virtually eliminate the threat of SSK intrusion (except maby for a 212 or a Go(a)tland, but even then once the SSK fires, it will give itself away) I think the possibility of an SSK killing a CVN or LHD is VERY low, and getting lower because of advancing technology.
