The USS Ronnie Raygun will be chock full of WMD, unlike Iraq. Will it carry Nukes ?
Almost all aircraft carriers (at least US ones) carry nukes that can be delivered by fighter aircraft.
The newest and best nuclear aircraft carrier is here, the USS Ronald Reagan!
Wait... is it a new class of nuclear carrier, or a Nimitz-class?Comment

OK, thanks. A bit more knowledgable now. Isn't the President in Red Laert 2 supposed to be Reagan? (The English leader is obviously meant to be Thatcher).Comment

So aside from being a union-busting, Republican contemporary of Thatcher what else did he do?'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

A Nimitz class, but it has a redesigned command structure and the missile systems, radar etc are cutting edge technology.Originally posted by skywalker

Re: Re: Commissioning of USS Ronald Reagan
Not true. A carrier allows us to project our power so as to deal with threats before they reach our coastline. For example, if a 3rd world dictator builds a new nuclear facility, and we destroy it with a carrier force, that is an act of self-defense not imperialism!Originally posted by Kidicious

oh yeah, he cut taxes for the rich one year... and then spent the next 8 raising them for everyone else...Cut taxes and regulations (getting us out of the horrid 70s stagflation), beefed up the military (which ties into, used an aggressive Cold War strategy.
Clinton finally brought us out of the Republican mess with responsible spending and balancing the budget. And it took another Republican to lead us back into record deficits and debt. 
I didn't figure you someone brainwashed by rhetoric imran...
ah yes... constructing massive amounts of nuclear weapons and forcing the Russians to bankrupt themselves by doing the same... good strategy now there are tens of thousands of nukes in Russia and former Soviet states that are susceptable to terrorist theft or sale... good plan 
We're still cleaning up Reagan's mess in Iraq... 
Dubya's shaping up to take the "worst president in the 20th century award" away from Ronny...To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

Reagan didn't save capitalism. No one can do that. I don't even think that Reagan saved the world from the USSR. The USSR did themselves in.Originally posted by The diplomat

I wish it the best of luck in its service.Comment
