Mission. Modularity is an enticing prospect. What navy would not want to be more flexible, more adaptable and more mission ready. It has become cliche to describe the world as one of shifting sands and unprecedented threats. It is true and navies and their sister services need to respond to this reality in a context of tighter budgets and fast paced technological developments. Modularity provides an answer that is easy to cling to. But navies may do so at the expense of wider and deeper conversations about forced structure. The easiest choice to deal with a problem is to put out a contract for a new module particularly when the alternative is reassessing wider acquisition decisions or investing in a larger number of permanent fit halls. If any threat or capability requirement is brushed aside as another job for modules. Naval planners risk missing the bigger picture which may lead to a fleet under prepared to meet an adversary or working with compromised capabilities. Mission modularity has its place within a modern fleet but it is not a panacea.
