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.

WWII carriers, many.
And since supercarriers are most known for where they can't go,
than where they can do, the question is irrelevent.

But I do agree with you that our Air Force should be first rate, but a first
rate Navy is no less important

Nobody has ever disputed that.
*Can the US Navy stop Iran from becoming a nuclear power?*
is the question.
