The US has 19 carriers (which can’t be sunk with conventional missiles contrary to some believers). China hasn’t even one
Why is it that no one seems to even consider the offensive power of military lasers?
Even as ships, chemical and drone factories, nuclear facilities mysteriously burst into flames in critical points of failure and then explode.
A targeted laser will absolutely sink an air craft carrier. The only defense is to take out the source of laser within the 1 second it takes to breach the bulkheads surrounding the fuel tank or the reactor.
I agree with most everything else you said though. But lasers are now ubiquitous in all major militaries, and the idea that they are only for defense is laughable.
