Alfred T mahan and the modern navy?

Not too much of an impact for today's 21st century. You see, AIRPLANES did not exist when Mahan wrote his book in 1890. Consequently, airpower has taken some of the thunder out of Mahan's theories (the naval portion); because the US Air Force has taken up some the slack (duties) from the navy. In addition, the navy of Mahan's time up thru the Viet War may have been nearly the same...but this 21st century military/navy is closer to a law enforcement force than the military/navy that Mahan once knew.
