Yep...like that Grumman poster says...90,000 tons of diplomacy!
Here's your diplomacy! 90,000 tons of it with a bunch of high performance fighter and attack aircraft floating off your shores.

Exactly! Modern art that actually means something worthwhile and will physically stand for the next 50 years...and remain in the minds of sailors for the next several hundred.

Ship next ship (78) will be named Gerald R. Ford.
Already a done deal.

Good. I heard about some testing on Nimitz class.
I have a good friend (Navy rotary; I was Army) who said the MK 15 Phalanx was a known bad joke because it was always broken --- no parts, hydraulic leaks, etc.

PING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Phalynx is slowly being replaced by RIM-116 RAM launchers which have amassed a sterling record of intercepts of incoming, high speed ASMs. New carriers are toating 2 RAM launchers (21 missiles each), 2 Sea Sparrow launchers (8 missiles each), and still 3 phalynx.

I had not heard it was a done deal...if so, I am sorely disappointed.

"Still a shame to this day, that Bush 41 did not get a secon"
And an even bigger shame that the DemonRats will take over the congress this year and probably the White House in '08 too. The American sheeple are so into their own lives that the future of this country is so unimportant to them.

When does construction begin on the USS Clinton? Wasn't that a barge sold for target practice by the Chinese?

Clinton will get a carrier, too. Mark my words. So if he gets the next carrier, then he'll get the next class named after him... Then the G.W. Bush carrier will be a Clinton-class carrier, ugh.

First thing Clinton did when he got into office was order "Don't Ask Don't Tell." First thing Bush did was order them a pay raise.

I'm sure they work great when working, as did the MK15.
But what is the % on operation?
A weapon system is only good when it can be deployed.
To: dcam
I do not believe Clinton will get a carrier...I pray with my heart and soul he does not. What a disgrace that would be.

The RAM is a proven design mating the latest stinger missile design with the latest Sidewinder seeker head. My understanding is that it has a very good maintenance record thus far.

The Navy is getting the George Washington ready for homeport move to Yokosuka, to replace the Kitty Hawk. Took a while to get the Japanese to accept a NUKE carrier.
Hampton Roads is lamenting the loss of the KW and the JFK, it is said that we will lose two carriers, one to Japan, one to Mayport, FL.
BTW, according to this official site,
http://www.history.navy.mil/branches/org9-4.htm
number of Navy ships has not been this low since 1937.
