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. |

In sci.military.naval Louis V. Spielman twisted the electrons to say:
There is no greater waste of money than a SECOND RATE NAVY. Depends upon how you're getting to "second rate" - do you mean overall or merely in comparison to the perceived threat level? After all, I think it's fair to say that if you mean overall then the USN is "first rate" and no-one else manages better than "second rate"[1]. Eg: I reckon it's pretty impossible to imagine the armed forces of the UK successfully repelling a full-blown assault by the US (well, without saying to the president "we have Trident, which cities won't the US miss?" grins), however I also think it's unlikely that the US will be attempting to invade the UK in the near future! [1] And quite a lot don't even manage that! -- These opinions might not even be mine ... Let alone connected with my employer ... |

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 Paul "ZZBunker" wrote in message om... "Louis V. Spielman" wrote in message . com...

Since it's impossible to imagine the UK repelling the Washington Redskins Football team, whether or not they can repel the US military is somewhat beside the point. |

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. |
