Why the Golden Fleet Will Sail
Benjamin Jensen, a CSIS naval-strategy analyst, outlines why large VLS-heavy surface ships matter. He traces the idea from dreadnoughts to modern arsenal-ship concepts. He examines trade-offs between concentrated magazine ships and distributed fleets. He discusses shipbuilding reform, industrial innovation, and how massive naval fires fit doctrine and regional hedge strategies.
