I’m trying to envision how one would go about “storming an aircraft carrier.”

Perhaps straight up the gang plank. So that classic order “Prepare to repel boarders!” shouldn’t be retired just yet.

Well, remember, the United States' first encounter with Muslims was on the water, when we fought with the Barbary Pirates. They are about whom it is sung, "to the shores of Tripoli", in the Marine fight song.

We can sure do it again, if necessary.
