I don’t have a dream world. I didn’t say I thought they would put a carrier in the Black Sea. There is no room to manuever in the Black Sea for a carrier.
Carriers usually maintain a 200 mile perimeter so the Russian jet would never have gotten anywhere near it. He would have been intercepted by Hornets about 200 miles out.
Plus they have whats called picket ships all around a carrier who also could have taken care of it.
The carrier’s jets would have intercepted the Russian plane, but the current rules of engagement obviously do not include shooting them down unless they commit an obvious hostile act.
