Miraculously, that’s all it takes to defeat a trillion dollar navy. Imagine what Iran or China could do with no navy to speak of (let’s pretend the Chicom subs don’t exist).

It's worse than that. Did you never hear the story of a war sim under Obama versus the Norks?

The general playing the Norks went all-in at zero hour, and overran Seoul, overran Yongsan, overran Humphreys, overran Tango (!), crippled PACLFT on station for 500 miles, and immediately warned the US any retaliation by US would prompt a nuclear response.

The general running the sim ordered a full restart.
