- thephyber 6y agoThe same president who thinks the Ford Class should drop EMALS and convert back to a steam catapult wants us to build a very complicated icebreaker? Is there an urgent need to double the capability of our icebreaking fleet for indefinite range?
- kryogen1c 6y agoits not a question of complication, its a question of cost effectiveness. smaller nuclear surface ships used to exist - they weren't worth the money.
- redis_mlc 6y ago> I think the next Ford carrier should have an armored bow. For those who don't know the reference, some Chinese leaders have suggested sending 2 ships for each American ship in the 9 dash-line area, and using one to ram and sink the American ship. Americans insist on freedom of navigation, and the CCP doesn't take no for an answer. You can see where this is leading. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine-dash_line https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine-dash_line
- hindsightbias 6y agoIDK that, I meant having carriers patrol the arctic. Go big or go home!
