New Threats

In the last episode we venture a glimpse into the future. We see new powers rise – and witness an old power reborn. Finally, we ask ourselves and our characters: In a world where David can take on Goliath, what is the future of warships? The Cold War is over. Only one superpower remains: the United States. As the 21st century arrives, technology takes center stage in marine warfare. Soviet Union has collapsed and US is unchallenged on the seas. Until now, ships fought against ships. But what happens when new enemies break traditional rules? In the age of asymmetric warfare, insurgent groups fight against nations. Terrorism emerges as a new enemy. Technology is the tool against terrorism. New powers rise, old ones are reborn. China is a rising power. Submarine robots and drones offer a glimpse into the future of warships.
