And they have gotten how many CVNs? That’s right, none. So ‘relatively easily’ is still a bridge too far.

...completely ignoring that the U.S. Navy has changed their tactics because they are fully aware of what current weapons can do to them.

Don't take my moronic words for any of this. Just read their publications about it.

Once Iran isn’t doing Ayatollah-like things, Houthi production drops.

Reread what you wrote and let it sink it. You make the point that the United States has to shut down an entire 3rd tier country because weapons they sell to a non-state actor threatens U.S. aircraft warships. Sounds exactly like what it takes to accommodate the obsolescence of carriers.

And because of changing tactics and mobility of the CVN target, 'relatively easy' would never be a term a serious person would use to describe the odds of targeting one. It is all 'easy' when it is tabletop in a conference room.

Not that point at all, you used the Houthis as 'proof' of the 'easy' concept. Houthis haven't and couldn't scratch the paint on a carrier due to tactics and defensive armaments. But the USN maintains open seas as a matter of policy. Your Houthi brothers do threaten civilians like all terrorists. They fail when they take on pros.

Just read their publications about it.

Because none of the 'think tankers' a part of the MIC. Tabletop warriors. Still a Covid believer too? Think USAID did constructive work for the country?
