Fix wing naval aviation from A/C carriers will become obsolete when the concept of air superiority over huge swaths of ocean becomes obsolete. I.E. NEVER.

In wars to come these flowing airfields may be an asset or targets. In the wars to come maybe Battleships might even be useful (with rail guns?) Maybe smaller Drone Carriers, or carriers that can submerge under the sea, or monitors? Hard to say—we haven’t had a true Naval War in a long time. Last big naval battle, Leyte Gulf, was in 1944. Anything might happen. A will be about who has the will to fight, take the chance and win on the TV screen and monitors of the people watching. Obama hasn’t the will—and other nations know this.
