Deep cuts about to be made in American carrier battle groups (CVBGs) are causing considerable alarm among Asian nations which count upon American military support. Yet this concern is misplaced. CVBCs are too big and cumbersome to be used in the sort of littoral ocean warfare most likely to occur in this region. At the same time, today's precisionguided munitions may offer a better alternative, as they can be launched at greater range and with less risk from smaller and less costly formations. Furthermore, the growing threat to an assembled amphibious force from tactical ballistic missiles is one which is best handled by ships other than a carrier. . Therefore, the current CVBG holiday imposed on the U.S. Navy is a blessing, a chance to retire outdated systems and plough the funds back into a new generation of warships and weapon systems better able to serve the interests of the United States and its allies.
