No, It's the other one in the picture.

And the war nerd can explain why carriers have a more limited utility than you guys think.Originally posted by Lonestar
Because it has angles so it's stealth lol
I'm sure Pat can explain the practical reason why Stealth Ships have a more limited utility than Ollie thinks.

If everybody in the world has stealth stuff for everything, noone will be able to identify and fight his enemy anymore.
Then, world peace is achieved.

Well if the war nerd says so then it must be true. Even if war nerd is more than willing to have the country "go to war every now and then" when he hasn't served. Of course, these current wars he is opposed to, and go figure CVNs have figured promiently in the actions...Originally posted by Chemical Ollie

Of course, OEF wouldn't have done much of anything for several months(until we had facilities that met USAF standards set up in central asia) if it weren't for said Carriers. Or OIF...Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.Comment

Lots of problems with that, obviously. Such as no guns(they were just gonna use a ****load of Standard Missiles).Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.Comment

Putin said that "others" didn't cancel their long range bomber patrols when USSR did it. Since only USA and Russia has a long range bomber fleet, it's obvious that he talked about USA. And i bet he's better informed than you.Originally posted by Patroklos
Meanwhile, the US still hasn't flown a long range bomber patrol since the breakup of the USSR.
You don't need something like stealth subs so to sink a big sitting ducks like carriers.Originally posted by Chemical Ollie
Bah, our stealth subs will sink them all, anyway
It all comes out of the "Millenium Challenge '02" war games we staged in the Persian Gulf this summer. The big scandal was that the Opposing Force Commander, Gen. Paul van Ripen, quit mid-game because the games were rigged for the US forces to win. The scenario was a US invasion of an unnamed Persian Gulf country (either Iraq or Iran). The US was testing a new hi-tech joint force doctrine, so naturally van Riper used every lo-tech trick he could think of to mess things up. When the Americans jammed his CCC network , he sent messages by motorbike.
But that was just playing around. They wouldn't have minded that. Might've even congratulated van Ripen, bought him a drink for his smarts, at the post-games party.
The truth is that van Ripen did something so important that I still can't believe the mainstream press hasn't made anything of it. With nothing more than a few "small boats and aircraft," van Ripen managed to sink most of the US fleet in the Persian Gulf.
What this means is as simple and plain as a skull: every US Navy battle group, every one of those big fancy aircraft carriers we love, won't last one single day in combat against a serious enemy.Knowledge is PowerComment

You realize you're linking the opinion piece from a guy who advocates using WMDs on the civilian population in Iraq as a "solution" to win the war.Originally posted by Ellestar

Forgive me if I don't take his doom and gloom "CARRIERS ARE OBSOLETE" babble seriously based off a lopsided war game designed to have happen exactly what did happen.
But hey, if your country wants to base their war doctrine off an obese nerd's internet blog, more power to you.
