Strike groups aren't going to help with stuff like hypersonic missiles. The problem with navy is exactly the same as the one we see with tanks in Ukraine. We can also see how US navy has basically been defeated by Yemen who don't even have a navy. Trying to shoot down drones that cost a few thousand bucks to make with million dollar missiles simply doesn't work at scale. The whole US strategy is being invalidated by advances in technology.
