CHINESE! DUST! INTERNET SURVEY!

Oh the breathlessness of it all.

The best part, “...enough to kill any carrier..”

Yawn. Now days, it only takes one properly loaded hypersonic missile to kill a carrier.

They are welcome to a catamaran carrier. There are reasons those haven’t been made.

In calm seas, a catamaran is more stable, but in much of a swell, a monohull ship is better.

Cross-deck torsion is a killer, as is the lack of hull volume for accommodation and services. The motion in a seaway is a problem too - catamarans are much jerkier than monohulls, which would make air operations difficult.
