[MCCC]

One aircraft carrier does not a world naval power make. Ask the UK, France, or even Thailand. Though it is not my intention to diminish the threat, especially to Taiwan, the sortie rate of one carrier, oil fired as it is will be quite low. A future nuclear powered carrier, would not help the sortie rate. Which is why the US currently has eleven commissioned with one under construction.

"One aircraft carrier does not a world naval power make."

Your statement reminds me of the famous quote of Admiral Cunningham of the British Navy, "It takes three years to build a ship, it takes three centuries to build a tradition"
