Don’t we have something like 15 carrier battle groups?

[Snickering Hound]

There hasn’t been 15 in a long time.

There are 12, on paper, currently...

= = =

And there are 57 states.

After doing the new math and applying the ratio of real states, that 15 battle groups devolves to zero, if not negative.

We have 10 carriers in service, with Gerald Ford under construction

[Secret Agent Man]

I think we now have 11 with one of them in an upgrade/repair slot.

I believe it’s been cut back to twelve battle groups. Great. So the next Pearl Harbor thing’s will be different. This time the carriers will be in port.
