Did Afghanistan, Iraq, Isis, Syria, or even Serbia have the capability to launch cruise missles at aircraft carriers? What about Vietnam or Korea?

I think your underestimating what aircraft carriers are actually used for. The Navy has been dropping bombs off aircraft carriers since WW2. I doubt we will ever see another world war in our lifetime. They may sell it to Congress one way and use it another way.



I agree with you; guns are great when you're fighting enemies armed only with sharp sticks...

The first time the US has to deal with Anti-Ship cruise-missiles might be a bad day for them.


It would be a bad day for everyone!
