$13 billion? What happened to the $4 billion we were paying?

We do not need $13B carriers. For one thing, ICBMs are getting popular and no carrier can defend against them. Secondly, we’re broke as a nation. We owe 7 times more than we take in.

Probably already outdated before it is launched.

Submarines render these very vulnerable.

And we can’t afford three of them at $40 billion apiece.

(Consider how many cruise missiles that would buy.)

I dread the day when some dingbat sinks one
with a Russian or Chinese missile — costing us 4000 guys
and billions in hardware.

I’d like to see this thing take on Obamacare, the Department of Education, The Department of Energy...

Maybe they aren’t going to use it for the military per se, maybe it’s Washington, D.C. afloat.

My first vote ever as a teenie was for Ford, made sense being in Mchigan.

I lost to Carter, it has been GAME ON ever since.

President Ford and Vice President Ford, served both capacities somewhat admirably at the time of serious peril.

Ford was never elected to either office, and yet our country survived.

This gummint shutdown is meaningless.

But how many aspirin factories and baby-milk factories in Somalia can it bomb at the same time a la Clinton?

How did the Navy ever get along without the acumen of all FR's strategic geniuses. Why, I bet Naval Operations never even thought about subs, missiles, nukes and such, until our resident experts pointed them out.

$13b for the carrier. How much for the carrier killer missile?

“invisible to enemy radar”
What about enemy satellite? Or enemy fishing dinghy? For something to be invisible, it helps if it’s small!
The enemies of the US keep investing in small, cheap counter-measures, and we keep helping them by building stuff that we cannot afford to get hit...

We could have built 70 of these things with the $900 billion Stimulus money Obama gave to his friends.

Obama is spending too much elsewhere and will not fund three more flat tops at $3 billion each.

And in the near future everyone will be complaining of $500 billion dollar 3 mile long super galactic star carriers.
kind of a drag to see so many whiners complaining about military assets America has and will hopefully dominate with.
Or has everyone succumbed to being apologetic like Obama.

The Navy will be much less secure when Ziva dies.

Apparently, a resurrected Walter White kills her on the first episode of “NCIS New Mexico.”
