“Now, the United States rules the waves.  Her vast fleet is unmatched in size and strength. It plies the seven seas with confidence and impunity.  She has the added reassurance that her jets also rule the skies.  But the world is changing.  The trump-card of nuclear weapons is now part of the arsenal of a growing number of nations.  And is the potential of cheap, automated drones and missiles similar to that of the unrecognised power of the machinegun of 1914?  And what of cyber war? Just how much damage can computer-based attacks inflict on a nation?  Unfortunately, it will probably take a major war for the world to find out.”
