With the satellites and spys in many places that info is easy to come by. You realy think something the size of a carrier or bigger yet a whole shitload of ships is not under observation at all times?

As far as Hamas raid, not sure what to think about that. Getting back to our carriers think of the amount of satellites up there and long range aircraft and their location is well know. |

There is a reason other nations do not allow the public to view positioning of their naval fleets. Make other nations use their resources, not our web pages. BTW, I was told the USS Ford at $20+B has a stealth layer?!?!? |

A.) An "anchored" carrier group is worthless. B.) What exactly is a carrier (and the associated aircraft) going to do? You want them flying around as a presence? What happens when someone says screw it and goes anyway, knowing damn well that they aren't going to get shot? The only way a "show of force" works is if the other side knows that you will actually use that force. You want US aircraft bombing US soil? While I certainly don't disagree with the sentiment of protecting our borders, the aircraft carrier approach is ... well ... no. |

Carriers are floating cities with desalination to provide drinking water, operating rooms, morgues, etc. so they may be used for other than a show of force. Well, that's a humanitarian thought at least.

Understand - when a carrier group deploys, its as a whole battle group with tenders, escort ships, you-name-it - essentially its own fleet. Hiding it is problematic and diametrically opposed to its mission as a highly visible projection of American military power. I've been on carriers at sea and went off the catapult once, as a civilian, they are more than just show pieces. They can put ordinance on targets at extended ranges and stay deployed for months if needed.
I'm more interested in why there aren't cries for a "cease fire" in the Urkaine where 400,000 lives have been lost similar to what we are hearing about the Hamas conflict. |
