>> We need to build more drones.
Drones are a low margin commodity weapon.
>> We should be building motherships to host drones.
Far too simple and cheap for a capital ship. Not enough shipyard union labor required to build one.
>> Aircraft carriers are already obsolete.
Yeahbut, they are a high margin ship, and building lots of them floats the union labor boat as well as the military-industrial boat. So to speak.
C’mon, man! Get your head properly aligned on this. Good times!
That would be the motherships with drones.
Once all the drones are destroyed, it's safe to deploy the aircraft carriers in the hostile zone.
