When they asked (Zumwalt?) how long our aircraft carriers would last
in a real war he said "a couple days".

Another tidbit of ancient history. Zumwalt was Chief of Naval Operations
for a while when *I* was on active service .... and that ended 31 years ago.

BTW .... Uncle Z is considered by many (me included) to be one of the worst
things that ever happened to the US Navy.
