My father never flew F-14s. And you cant add your little qualifications after the fact. You said no one else in NATO had carriers and you were wrong. Deal with it.

OK squidly didly, I'll deal with it. You said that since all these other NATO countries operated "carriers" that training them up in operating a CV would be no big deal.

None of the carriers you refer to have arresting gear. None have catapults. None have steam turbines--all have gas turbines. None use the same radar and electronics suite as the JFK.

So, Maverick, you are wrong. Go pick some rust.
