USS Gerald R. Ford.

Only problem is it's a sitting duck as the Chinese and Russians are/have developed weapons to take out our carrier fleet from a distance.

Our carriers have no defensive capabilities to the new weapons that have been developed to take them out.

We have the same weapons systems too. So what?

 

[Enfuego]

I don't think ships are really the key to the future, although a sovereign nation will never take them out because that means we're all in deep shit anyhow

Nuclear submarines are the killer and the security (IMO, I'm no military expert)

You mean the deterrent.

OK, deterrent is a better word
