I suppose the US Navy still has more real operational practice. Still a good reason to not let hubris get in the way of sound thinking ( military or otherwise). I imagine the professional paranoids in the Pentagon are really losing sleep thinking about it.
The US Navy would fare just as badly if they were stupid enough to fight an opponent that is technologically not that far behind and only had that tiny little pond right next to the main land territory of that opponent to evade.
