Will they have to replace it after 200 hours?

it is having the supporting technology that makes a navy work and china with an aircraft carrier scares me more militarily then the soviet union ever did because I believe they have a better capacity to support the ships then the soviet union had during the cold war or even today.

China is coming.

And the U.S. is weak and unprepared.

China will slice right through us.

The legacy of Obama. Focusing on political correctness and gay rights rather than military preparedness.

The Chinese have no naval combat experience or a legacy of naval aviation. If an actual war were to occur, the Chinese Navy would not last long. Those ships would become expensive coffins.

Not possible, we spend more than they do on the military. Therefore we are INDESTRUCTIBLE.

(even if most of our spending is now for modifying everything for LGBTs)

Both existing carriers are basically usable only for near shore operations and fleet defense. The third one will not be a sk-jump set up but use an EMALS system - something the Ford has not gotten working correctly yet. That one will be able to project forward power.

Perhaps of interest, Jeff. And happy 40th anniversary to you and Gail!
