Carriers replaced battleships at the center of U.S. naval power in World War II, but they've been losing ground, offensively and defensively, for years. Until the 1980s, the offensive punch of smaller warships was limited to short-range guns. But now these ships pack Tomahawk cruise missiles, giving every destroyer, cruiser and attack submarine the ability to destroy targets well beyond the reach of carrier-based planes--without risking pilots. Distributing that firepower across 120 warships instead of concentrating it on America's 11 carriers makes sense. Then there's the huge built-in cost of carriers. Much...

The strike marks the fifth such attack targeting Islamists in Somalia in the 16 months since the U.S.-backed Ethiopian invasion in December 2006, which toppled the Islamist regime that had seized power in Mogadishu...
...that hard.On a personal level, sports have provided stability in my life and have given me an outlet for dealing with frustration and stress in a healthy manner. Growing up, there was no better way to release some pent-up anger than by throwing down a tomahawk jam on the hoop in my backyard (even if I had to lower the hoop a few feet).Now that I’m at Harvard, where students face enormous pressure in an unpredictable environment, it’s comforting to know that in the frigid months of winter there will always...
