Why not 100?

Where would we find enough crew? That would increase the size of the navy by 500,000 sailors.

The CXN’s will have much smaller crews. More like 3,000 for the crew and the airwing will be smaller also.

I forgot the sarcasm tag. But calling for 10 carriers or 100 is ridiculous when you don't first consider operational needs and budgetary restrictions. Ten carriers would take about 40 years to build, cost well over $200 billion for the ships alone, a similar amount for 10 new airwings (never mind the additional escorts), and would add tens of billions more to the annual budget.
