We’re a nation that didn’t see any need to prepare a replacement for the space shuttle, until years after it was mothballed.
This doesn’t surprise me.
The idea we would only have nine carriers, and some of them would be in port at any given time, seems very idiotic.
By the mid 20s, when China is predicted to become a very serious challenge, we will be at our weakest.
Who are the brain trusts who keep failing our nation? I’d like to know, and see them unemployed in short order.
There is an army of anti carrier armchair admirals right here on Free Republic. They’ll be here soon.
