What did Hazzard's opinion about atomic submarines tell you about his philosophy of war?

Hazzard was more concerned with hidden sea power than large displays of naval supremacy like carriers.

In the Navy, the rivalry had once been between the battleship and carrier admirals. When it became a rivalry between atomic subs and super-carriers, Hazzard had outspokenly favored the submarines. Since he once had commanded a carrier task force, and never had been a submariner, the carrier admirals regarded his stand as just short of treason.
