This is 2016, not 1941. Technology has moved a long ways. But the US, rather the congressional members who have factories in their districts (IE, California, New Jersey, Mass, New York, Virginia, Washington and Florida)
True. its not 1941 No one sneaks up on a CVBG. (Satellite,Submarine,and E2’s make sure of that)
A CVBG is by its self one of the top 10 Air forces in the world.
A CVBG has multiple DDG’s and FFG’s around it with Standard Missiles including ABM capability.
A CVBG has both air defense and strike platforms that most of the world wishes it had.
The “big target” slogan is simple easy and wrong.
