What I just said. Logistics and other support for island areas that are too small, isolated, or distant to be supplied via helo or conventional FW.

Interesting. The first part sounds like a naval version of Rommel's WWI infiltration tactics. The 2nd part of having a 4 ship ARG is a good idea - but will be financially constrained. However with the 2 ships of the America class, it could be deployed a few times as proof of concept.Read this morning and thought it relevant to the discussion:

Well, the same goes for us....China can’t walk away from the U.S. without enormous pain. The U.S. can’t afford to leave the relationship unchanged, and China may not be able to stonewall Trump as they did with other presidents....
Oh, there is a lot of irony in that quote. What Nixon did may have worked with China but it didn't work out too well with the rest of his Presidency.By doing what Nixon did – using volatility and unpredictability to intimidate – Trump set the stage for a negotiation that China can’t refuse.
Only Nixon could go to China because he'd established his bona-fides as a Red-baiter in the '50's. He gave "Tailgunner Joe" McCarthy a run for his money as the number-one Commie-hunter in the Senate. Whereas the Dems were on the defensive in the "who lost China?" narrative, trying to butch up their anti-Communist creds all through JFK and LBJ's terms. So the Dems could not take the domestic political risk, and Nixon could. In other words: political calculation based on years of experience and reputation. I fail to see how that applies to our current political predicament. Nixon was never seen as a reckless and ill-informed game-show host.
I think this gets at the commercial and consumer loan market vs government. A lot of the former loans are off the books, making it even harder to know the whole story.China has exploding debt? What is their national debt to GDP ratio?
