BTW, I do realize that the Navy has the capability of sinking a Tacoma class ferry. Those of us who ride these ferries don't find that to be the proper way to deal with such a threat.
If I listed a boat or two that would likely be available to stop the ferry, would it stop this question? Or would you then just then start into some drawn out juvenile debate regarding a half dozen scenarios that neither of us are really qualified to answer and consider it my job to disprove each of your subsequent claims?
I dont have anything to prove here. You're the one invested in claiming the carriers are sitting ducks. If you were serious about this you'd follow one of my suggestions, and enlist the input of people that really do know what they're talking about. But you won't do it, perhaps because I suggested it.
Now who's ego is blocking resolution here?
