Oh come on.

Are you saying an 80,000 ton oil fired Aircraft Carrier with 80+ aircraft aboard it is obsolete because it is fueled by Naval Distillate?

The oil burner carriers are fast as hell though. My buddy's former ship which was a Tico cruiser couldn't keep up with Kitty Hawk at full speed maneuvers.
