The USS Gerald R. Ford represents a massive leap in naval engineering, but it never travels alone. This episode dives into the intricate mechanics of the Carrier Strike Group, exploring the vital roles played by destroyers, cruisers, and silent submarines in protecting these "floating cities." From the "digital backbone" of modern radar to the strategic advantage of sovereign territory at sea, we break down why the aircraft carrier remains the centerpiece of global power projection in 2026.
