They said Battle ships were obsolete but they sure sent em off Beirut.
Amazing when a shell the size of a V.W. come from over the horizon and lands ON target, maybe 32 miles away.
These aircraft carriers project American power the world over and GOD help any who try to sink em.
No doubt, probably a good bit more economical than cruise missiles.
But for our inillustrious political and military leadership, led by an enemy islamist CIC.
Like C19fan said "Carriers are great for projecting power against enemies who cannot fight back".
Same with battleships against an enemy who could launch multiple Harpoon missiles against them. Even in the 1920's, battleships were vulnerable to bombs, as demonstrated by Billy Mitchell
