I don't agree that advanced technology is required to make a force multiplier such. In the combat arms of today this may be the case, but in the naval environment advanced technology has nothing to do with it. That is because of the fundamental differences in the environments and the requirements for each. You know the difference I am sure "the army equips men, the navy mans equipment". The naval definition of force multipliers therefore has nothing to do with advanced technology, but relies on combat units that can change the outcome of a battle significantly.
As such an my biasis are laid bare. For me a major piece of equipment (a ship) is the basic combat unit in a naval environment. Therefore force multipiers are equipment as well. No wonder the army guys on my base have a hard time understanding me when I talk tactics with them.
