I remain unconvinced that these things are anything more but lumbering behemoths in the Drone War. They are what Battleships were to the WWII theatre, powerful but vulnerable and outdated by new developments, (ironically 'Aircraft Carriers')

Thinking about how much of the Russian Navy Ukraine has taken out without any aircraft carriers or missile cruisers

Also, they are fucking expensive.

As far as I can tell, the US has an Air Carrier group near the Strait of Hormuz but not too close as the drones would sink billions of dollars worth of equipment, not to mention the sailors who'd drown.

A bit shit really...

@Lazarou After seeing the fate of the Russian fleet in the Black Sea I suspect much rethunking is going on. At what point will Trump order them in?

The aircraft carrier was obsolete long ago. They are nostly big juicy targets.
