[Sir Krustin]

Always good to see members of the media supporting valuable assets like the carrier fleet instead of trying to dismantle them.

He pretty much nailed all the high points, most people forget just hwo dependant we would be on foreign based aircraft without CVNs. In fact, they just might be a cost savings if you figure how many operational static airwings you would need to cover american interests worldwide.

You'll always hear the air farce saying how the carriers are unneeded with aircraft like the B2 capable of flying around the world - but nothing replaces the response time of a CVBG a hundred miles off the coast...
