Because it's ridiculous to do so when you have a bomber fleet larger than the entire rest of the world's combined, and because it's far more expensive to build and maintain than just sending a carrier group to wherever you need to strike.

But is it, really? A carrier group is very expensive, and you only have a few. Put it here, it's not there. Put it there, it's not here. And it takes a long time to get from here to there. Likewise, bombers. Expensive, can be shot down, take forever.

    Amen. I guess whatever target you hit with it would have to be worth as much as it cost to get the thing into orbit.
