ZZ,
How many of our carriers have been sunk? They go out with an escort
that's hard to get by.Plus that carrier can carry that plane to within
striking range.
But I do agree with you that our Air Force should be first rate, but a first
rate Navy is no less important

The question is: How much will it all cost?

There is no greater waste of money than a SECOND RATE NAVY. Spend the
two
dollars(adjusted for inflation).

A second Air Force is a much greater waste of money
that a second rate Navy. Seeing that it costs
6 billion dollars to build a carrier, and one exploding
million dollar bomb on a 50 million dollar jet
to sink one.
