I bet Harry also doesn't understand that a carrier is also a pretty
good sized hospital and has an electrical plant large enough to power
essential services for a small city. The battle group also has a lot
of manpower to render aid and a very good fleet of helicopters to get
that aid out across the countryside.
As I said earlier, it is an excellent platform for humanitarian aid
but that needs to be in a safe part of the world, not where they seem
to need it most these days.



None of which has anything to do with the fact that carriers are
targets.


These days everything is a target. I would worry more about a suburban
mall than a carrier battle group.
Certainly they might lob a missile at one but we have a fair to
middling chance of just shooting it down. These cruise missile are
pretty slow. The place where it came from will reap the whirlwind.
That CBG will have a guided missile ships tagging along that could
turn 2 or 3 square miles into bouncing rubble.


You know no more about whether a carrier will be successfully attacked
than I do or anyone else here does. I think it is possible and you are
regurgitating the DoD bull****.

You're a fine one to talk about regurgitating bull****.
