A currency is also backed up by the strength of the national economy.

Or, as in the case of the US, ten aircraft carriers.

How many national economies are even capable of producing a single aircraft carrier?

Since there is a gargantuan amount of time, labor, blood & treasure invested in just one of our flattops, then ten of them says our economy is not doing badly if not ideally.

The Chinese are testing missiles that can kill a carrier with a single pop but that’s different subject.
