The problem with that is Iran could build 1,000 drones to overwhelm one of our aircraft carriers and we cannot shoot down all the drones.

The problem with that is the carriers operate 100 mi offshore. How is Iran finding the carriers? Do their drones have enough range to reach that? And course correct as the carrier moves? And do all of that carrying a significant payload?

The last US carrier to go under took four weeks of pounding, and she still had to be scuttled. No way Iran is sinking one even if half (yea, right) of their cheap drones get through.

Right now? No.

But maybe in 5-10 years.

I hope we're ready. But just look at who's our CIC. And the folks running our Defense Dept.

This isn't the Cold War or the WOT where you had Reagan or Bush in charge.

How did the Ukrainians find the Moskva?

Well, they had a little help. When it comes time to find the USS Ford, I’m sure Iran will have plenty of help available.
