Since then, fleet composition has leaned heavily towards expanding the destroyer and frigate wings of the navy, creating a blue-water capacity with marine landing assets, and the development of a native Vertical Launch System introduced in the 2000s. The major impetus of modernization has been the formation of task squadrons for international deployments centered around carrier assets - a concept first tested during the [[Peninsular War]]. This includes the phasing out of late-20th century ship classes and the development of ships based on a 'combat triangle' of ASW/mine warfare (managed by frigates), surface/air attack (managed by destroyers), and fires support (air or artillery, managed by cruisers and landing support ships). | ||
