The Russian admiral is probably correct. Drone warfare is changing everything, just as the aircraft carrier eventually sent the battleships to the graveyards.

The Admiral is correct. Carriers are not the future. But we find them pretty handy right now.

I recall when this thing had to be towed to Syria a few years back. At that time it was an unworkable piece of junk. And I wondered why can’t the Russians get it right? The US and Japanese had aircraft carriers figured out before WWII, and Russia is still tinkering with the idea? Something is terribly wrong.

The Germans never had one either… and you’d think they would have been one of the first to build one.

Bismarck, Tirpitz, Graf Spee, Prinz Eugen, Scharnhorst… all of those capital ships… but no carrier.

Lots of U-Boats, though…. They had THAT down to a T…

He got 7 years, wasn’t it the Brits who couldn’t make it out of the North Sea with theirs?
