The Condor problem separates an enduring operational function from an obsolete technical solution. Modern submarines can use advanced passive sonar and computer processing to sort many data points at longer range, while aircraft and satellites can also report a ship's position. A one-shot fighter catapult cannot answer a satellite and is not proposed as a modern conversion model. The lasting lesson is to deny the reconnaissance and targeting network before it can direct a submarine attack. CAM ships matter here as an example of breaking a targeting chain rather than as hardware to recreate.

Modern detection networks change the CAM-ship problem
The CAM ship's real modern lesson is to disrupt the enemy's targeting chain, because submarines now combine longer-range passive sensing with cues from aircraft and satellites.
