I wish to understand how warships/naval air/submarines,etc would be used in a future conflict and well ship design is part of that as well.
I feel as a 19th century colonial soldier thrust in into the Western Front trenches at the height of the GW.
Hence all my drone questions here which I ceased as someone mentioned it may provide info to OPFOR. LOL finally was able to use that acronym.
The little skirmishes between our Navy and other countries since 1982 seems like Godzilla stomping Tokyo.

Not an answer here, but an additional thought.
Felix, you ask about development since the Falklands in 1982.
I think a major turning point was the collision of USS Belknap and JFK and the resulting fire on Belknap. This was the time when they figured out that aluminum ships had a problem in fires. I believe that was the starting point for destroyers to be built of steel going forward. Not sure about international navies.

Evolution of warship design and use from the Falklands to today?
