I was worried about this if the carrier got too big.

Like the Battleships before them

I was always worried we weren’t building up the support for the big ships and combat. Do we have the cargo ship tonnage needed to move massive amounts of equipment and supplies if a war broke out?

This is an easy one to solve, name the next carrier the USS Obama, no one will be able to find it in an emergency or pin it down...

What will make the carriers obsolete are hypersonic and trans-atmospheric aircraft that can be anywhere in the world within 90 minutes. Who needs a carrier on station when you can send in a fighter that can take off and land from the USA?
