"Now that Im logged back in, Im not a sailor or in any way an expert in these matters, but dont we need aircraft carriers in order to maintain air superiority? Or could we do it from space?!"
I think it's a question of timing. A CSG parked offshore provides a (really well-armed) floating airfield. Eliminates the need for access/permission to land-based airfields. They're potentially a very quick response.
But they're also big targets. Is the juice worth the squeeze? Very complicated question.

I trust the Plan. ;)
Does anyone know why the Beast went to Venice, Italy?
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad she's not getting airtime at any 9/11 memorials. It's just an odd day to be overseas...
