Very very interesting read rick,

I found the Carrier piece very insightful, they are still the number 1 tool for the US to project around the world and I doubt that the increase in naval vessels utilising the cruise missile would be able to fill the void left by a carrier less navy.

In regards to the point made about navies increasing the size of their carriers around the world, I would find it very interesting to read a review from the US navy of the CVF when it comes into service. Especially the french version of the CVF.

Would the US every consider building carriers of that size again in order to increase their carrier force. Very interesting times indeed for the future of carriers around the world.
