Reply to comment by Cuddlebeasts in 'Ready for anything': US aircraft carrier crew training for war with Russia but aims to deter threats by MGC91

Just look at the exercises with Europe and look at the armada of the Russian flagship.

The US Navy continue to produce these massive floating fortresses with another nuclear-powered carrier slated to set sail in 2024. I’m no expert in military but you’re talking about the US Navy… they’re not going to continue funding these carriers or send them around the world if they’re to go down easy. Nor will they admit or let others know what countermeasures were developed to address the weaknesses pointed out.

You also have the protection of the US Air Force, US intelligence, etc. They’re not going to sit idly if they know a threat is coming whether from land, air, or sea.

It is just the mechanism of a military complex. There cannot be a reason to spent ten times more money on military services than every one else.

What Armada? The one under the sea?

The one that had to be towed?

Or the one failing to supply anything beyond 50km?
