Former USS JFK

Yall keep saying that carriers are obsolete, but the Chinese keep developing and building new ones…. I guess they don’t think so?

Are you implying the commenters on this forum don’t know shit? How dare you. This is the finest group of maritime analysts and specialists the world could gather!

Since I have no real experience on this I feel very comfortable throwing my un-informed opinion in with the rest of them.

A carrier battle group still projects power. I also have some level of confidence that both surface and submerged threats to the carrier battle group have defenses that have a decent chance of working.

I believe this because I do not share the conventional wisdom that the senior naval officers who have dedicated their entire lives to the service, are generally incompetent, lazy or disengaged. I believe quite the opposite and am sure they have done all they can to ensure they are not putting an un-protected carrier into harms way.
