The discussion of hi end vs lo end (the old First vs Second rate) is one that has raged during and after the Cold War.In a general war (WW3) it was widely recognised that naval combat would be short and bloody, especially if nuclear tipped torpedos and missiles were unleashed.Even the mighty US carriers were assumed to get sunk or severely damaged. Even in limited war or terrorist actions warships have been pretty fragile. Major warships have been crippled by cheap weapons.No major navy has fought another major navy at sea since 1945. So we have made assumptions based on tests, some actual combats and modelling.Most big navies apart from the US Navy look pretty similar. The main warship is a destroyer/frigate with as many weapons as can be fitted. The ships look remarkably similar.
