I thought the best plane to be able to land on a carrier might be the A10 so they had better air support for marines and it might also be good for things like those Somali pirates. Most carrier planes are too fast to actually give the kind of close in support you might need engaging small boats and they are basically out of gas as soon as they take off. The A10 has a great "loiter time" |
