Ukraine's naval successes in the Black Sea, including the destruction of 15 Russian naval vessels and the damaging of 12 others, have challenged conventional wisdom on naval warfare. Experts like James Russell from NPS Monterey emphasize the transformation of naval sea power due to modern weaponry. The Black Sea naval war has prompted serious analysis of established naval strategies and their vulnerabilities, with implications for US Navy strategy and the value of investing in large ships. The unique weather phenomenon may have aided Ukraine in identifying and sinking a Russian warship. There are concerns about potential new fronts in the Russo-Ukrainian war if Russia launches strikes from Georgian territory. These developments pose fundamental challenges to traditional notions of sea power.
