    Wake Island is in play once again as an unsinkable aircraft carrier. Soon Midway and Johnston will be also.

      During WWII no other Naval Unit eclipsed the record of the Little Beavers lead by Captain "31 Knot Arleigh Burke." There are Sailors and there are
      DESTROYER SAILORS. Fast sleek they seek out the enemy to engage at point blank range.

        More proof the carrier's obsolescence

          Carriers will never be obsolete. Wake island can be completely destroyed by a typhoon/cyclone. 
          If we engage the enemy in the middle east, can we move wake island?

              Carriers are sitting targets that will be in port when the shooting starts with Chy Na. The most they will do is patrol the coast of America if they leave port at all. 

              Imagine a sunk carrier by a Chy knees sub in a thousand foot of water with 6k people lost and a nuke reactor still turning.

              Research the Falklands war. Little ole Argentina gave the Brits a run for their money...Imagine what Wo Fat has gotten from the Dems and the technology they gave the Chy Knees.

              Subs...and more Subs...Unless there is naval superiority the Carrier is a sitting target

                Sounds like you are rooting for the Chinese, sad. Your military experience?

                Plenty of US Naval battles vs the Japs. Look them up. You must have been to busy brushing up on your Mandarin.

                  Does my military experience matter....and what if its army guard and not Navy...does it then become irrelevant. 

                  If you want to be a blind cheerleader rooting for your home team...go right ahead. The emperor will have no clothes still.

                  All taxpayers and citizens are entitled to an opinion....didn't people just defend Trump for not being military....do you have an opinion of teachers and education never having taught...

                  Money is spent on these projects of carriers when it should be in subs...most nations get that...including the chinese

                  If you recall the jap being much smaller a nation gave the world a run for its money early on an until the bomb dropped....the chinese threw us out of Korea...expect another desperate time when this kicks off

                      Falklands (one of the 16 choke points), in distance, was about the farthest point on a map as you can get from Great Britain or any British base.. Getting their limited assets there was a struggle ...Their Navy back then (could or can ) hold a candle to ours... A  single US carrier battle group packs a ton of bad-ass defensive systems and PUNCH, above and below the ocean surface. The democrat backed Chinese  might try, but the odds of coming out on top would be slim to none!
