$13 billion for a single vessel is insane, IMO

And the Russians have a super-cavitating torpedo that is reported to be capable of speeds up to 200 knots (230 mph).

No one is going to attack a carrier with a Squall torpedo. It is designed exclusively for a submarine warfare (sub to sub duels, destroyer vs sub etc).

If we lose it to one shot, I hope some heads roll.

You know those tanks with the “cages” to make RPG’s explode before impact?? Maybe we could fit this ship with something like that.

heh

13 billion is just 5 days worth of QE.
