| Summary/Abstract |
All the components seem to be in place to make 'payloads over platforms' a reality for the Navy.
Funny thing about the future: It's dreamed about, planned for, anticipated, and then, suddenly it just shows up. Most of the time it does not occur the way it was imagined. So many factors are involved in day-to-day life for events to unfold as expected, but sometimes, perhaps with sufficient attention to the past to get a good sense of strong currents in the river of time, reasonable forecasts of near-term events can be made. Such is the case, at least partially, with the development of the Navy's shipbuilding plan and the evolution of its force structure. Whether called by name or not, influence squadrons have all but arrived.
