The utility and survivability of India’s much-vaunted carrier force could be severely limited during
a war with a near-peer adversary such as Pakistan; India should evaluate the issue and consider
measures to address it.

Summary/Abstract |
Strategically, the United States is in a period characterized by uncertainty and diverse threats. Attempting to end two wars becomes background noise in the larger context of U.S. recalibration of its role in the world. U.S. power is perceived as either declining or being reoriented. Balancing off previous commitments with new ones becomes a critical and difficult task. The core problem becomes signaling commitment without deploying major forces to a particular location. Aircraft carriers are important symbolic instruments signaling U.S. interest regarding a particular issue. Those vessels are the linear descendants of battleships formerly the symbol of British power. Such deployments, however, are limited by being a ship, especially in disputes distant from the sea. Ballistic missile defense has come to occupy that role in signaling American commitment to allies or a state threatened by another. This can come as part of an alliance such as NATO's commitment of Patriot PAC-3 units to Turkey, with units drawn from three separate militaries including the United States.

Summary/Abstract |
Despite price-tag increases, the new Ford -class carriers won't be a boondoggle, but a boon-because ultimately, bigger = more bang for the buck.
On 9 November 2013 the nation's newest aircraft carrier, the Gerald R. Ford , was christened and blessed at a time-honored ceremony in which the hull is first wetted by the special liquid of a bottle-now champagne-to give her good luck before launching her into the water. The Ford has been built at great expense, now estimated to be $12.9 billion inclusive of design costs. Some are surprised at the price tag and argue that it is unaffordable, and that the U.S. Navy and the shipbuilder must dramatically reduce this dollar amount if we are to continue to buy and build these ships. Now that we have christened the Ford and can see her, it is a good time to review why we built her, why three administrations-two Democrat (Clinton/Obama) and one Republican (Bush-43)-as well as seven Congresses (106th-112th) have initially approved not only the Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), but also the John F. Kennedy (CVN-79), and the Enterprise (CVN-80).

Summary/Abstract |
It is axiomatic to state that India, as a sovereign independent nation, desires to use the seas for its own purposes while simultaneously preventing others from using them in ways that are to its disadvantage. The ‘ability’ to attain these twin objectives is what is known as ‘maritime power’, which comprises political, economic and military components.
