One day's deficit costs us 7 Aegis CG's? WTH?
We could be at war within months. We will wish we had them.
The Aegis is the kind of thing, when you need it, you can’t wait months for them to re-commission it. You need it now.
The Aegis program is very, very expensive. By decommissioning those vessels, scarce funding resources are made available for vital vote-buying activities that are urgently needed to protect the jobs of incumbent politicians.

The target?
An island in the Artic the exact same shape and size of a Nimitz Carrier.
Islands nearby, <5km away, are set up with chaff, ECM, etc. to simulate a carrier battle group and it's defenses.
Getting rid of the TICO CGs are a DUMB idea....if we do retire them, give 3 to Israel, 2 to South Korea, and 2 to Japan.
This is mind numbing. So much for a balanced task force that is able to deal with all incoming vampires. So little hope and so much change.

America drowned in insurmountable debt purposefully imposed in part through Stimulus “investments” in gimmicks designed in significant degree to reward Democrats election campaign supporters (can you say UAW, Solyndra, etc.?), dependent on loans from foreign sources to fund even its military forces, is a nation rendered laughably ineffective, of little to no influence or credibility in the global geo-political arena, and thus exactly what the Kenyan malcontent Barak Obama intended to make it as one key element of his intended fundamental transformation.
Our President’s intentions for America accord much more harmoniously with those of Vlad Putin than with the philosophy and wishes of George Washington.
Israel has no interest in something that big, and the Aegis destroyers that Japan and South Korea now have are much newer and more capabable than these CGs.
Why is it unbelievable when we have someone in the WH who hates America?
Wait till we have a Muslim CO and crew on one of our nuclear subs.
Click on pic for past Navair pings. Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist. The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation. This is a medium to low volume pinglist.
I think all they need is a Mohammedan CO, XO and missile officer.
So get rid of a ship that can shoot missiles in space.
If I am not mistaken this system was a key part of our forces. Its one thing to replace them with something better and if possible smaller, but where is that replacement? The Chinese are building their own version of the ship though smaller, and capabilities are unknown with maybe the acception that they have succeeded in stealing a lot of its tech so they can put it to use.
Precedent Erkel Mugabe is a gundecking shitbird fer sure !
