The Quantum Leap: Redefining Naval Dominance in the AI‑Quantum Era

  Introduction: From Platform Superiority to Computational Dominance at Sea Naval power is undergoing a structural transformation. The traditional metrics of dominance—fleet size, tonnage, and firepower—are being supplemented, and in some cases displaced, by a new determinant: computational superiority. The ability to sense, process, secure, and act on information faster than an adversary is emerging…
