Actually, with regards to the USS Abraham Lincoln, they actually can’t. They’ve mismanaged this war so poorly that they can’t actually accomplish the single most basic part of military management: logistics. Genghis Khan knew that he had to maintain supply lines to win wars. Julius Caesar knew it. Alexander the Great. Cyrus the Great. Chandragupta. Sun Tzu knew it. It’s the most basic, most obvious part of leading a military, and they failed at it so hard that sailors are jumping off of boats.
