For reference, this is the wikipage of 'blue-water navy'.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue-water_navy

In terms of personal preference I'd choose submarines over battleships(my head even tries to justify not having coastal defence ships with lotsa anti-ship missiles) everyday. So I ask this question: what kind of ships would a "blue-water navy" need? Battlecruisers? Destroyers? Maybe even an Aircraft Carrier?

Critique and comment, as always.
