In the case of the battleship, the platform may change, but not the function. What is the point to these anecdotes? There are two. Marshall used his executive-order authority, given after Pearl Harbor, to get rid of all the horses in the Army - and Herr.
Herr was an obstacle to modernizing the Army with tanks, insisting that he would accept no increase in armor at the expense of horse-cavalry strength.
The horse, however, was a different kind of problem for the Army. Navy was able to accommodate both the battleship and aircraft carrier in World War II, although the battleship mostly was relied upon to provide fire support, rather than crossing the T against an enemy battleline.
