What happens when a U.S. ship runs out of missiles in the heat of naval battle? How is the rest of a gun line affected if a cruiser has to steam away to resupply its ordnance?
Navy heads have not had to ponder such questions for decades. America’s fleet hasn’t been threatened by a so-called “peer” sea service since a wall divided Berlin and the Soviet navy prowled the seas.
But now, amid a snarling North Korea and heightened tension in the South China Sea, the Navy is planning on bringing back its ability to reload missiles while a ship is at sea.
