Back when those fancy-schmancy jets still looked like planes, and not...well, whatever Blackbirds and Super Sabers are supposed to resemble! (Cigar cases, in the case of the Saber line..)
I saw the new F-35 and the F-22 fly a few weeks ago. They just looked weird even in normal flight - never mind the F-35's ability to hover! Modern ships look even stranger - we are truly entering a SF world (if we're not there already).
I wonder what the use of modern ships is -- surely surface ships wouldn't be fighting each other. They almost seem like mobile relay stations for weapons and communications.

Surface ships are essentially weapons platforms these days - for missiles or planes. Hardly anyone uses guns - they're so 20th Century!
