When they do, then we’ll all be smart and we’ll all stop.” – Bloomberg

How the Navy's 10 New Destroyers Will Change Surface Warfare 
By Kris Osborn, Warrior Maven: “Adding large numbers of new next-generation destroyers will substantially change the Navy's ability to conduct major maritime warfare operations by enabling surface forces to detect enemy attacks at much farther distances, launch long-range strikes with greater precision and destructive force and disperse offensive forces across much wider swaths of ocean.”
Seth G. Jones writes: While Russia has maintained its ability to conduct information warfare over the past several decades, the United States is ill-prepared to fight a new Cold War. [...]The United States needs to quickly develop an information warfare campaign—both overt and covert—that can compete with Russia and other adversaries. - Center for Strategic and International Studies
