How many weapons can be delivered by cyclic airops from one aircraft carrier in that same time period?
Depends on where you launch your aircraft from-the JASSM is a subsonic weapon.
If the target's a couple thousand miles inland, probably "None".
We need strong carrier capacity, but the problem with cyclic attacks is the enemy is ready for you after the first wave.
You get the true benefit of surprise once and only once. First sortie capacity is very important.
The B-1B is an outstanding aircraft that took a long time to come of age. We should get as much life out of each of them now that they can do so much.
And man to they look and sound GREAT!!
