IMHO, a lot of the roles of these clowns can be taken up by Grav MBTs.
A MDC/5 or DFFG/5 on a small, fast, well armored hull can sink any
freighter out there, and scrap most any warship small enough to avoid
being 'plinked' from orbit. Brown water craft will likely abound, but
the blue water stuff is primarily there for maintaining or cutting
SLOCs (Sea Lines Of Communication) which won't be likely to have the
exaggerated prominence that they do, for instance, in the case of the
United Kingdom or the United States (one being an island and hence
forced to have a navy or be restricted to invading Scotland yet again
and the other having oceans between itself and any enemies, unless of
course Canada is taken over by Nazis)
