And now for some more baseless speculation

I think the battleship may yet have its day again.

A2AD is starting to forcing large combatants to the limits of effective carrier air range.

This means more reliance on standoff weapons.

As guided missiles get more expensive to field, we'll be looking for direct energy weapons or mass drivers to fill the role.

Systems that'll require large powerplants on large platforms.

Battleships of the future.
