I wonder if/when we have another major war we’ll learn that Nimitz class and Gerald Ford class aircraft carriers are obsolete?

Will carriers and their task forces be overwhelmed by drones?

Same question for modern main battle tanks.

Same question for modern main battle tanks.

The Russia/Ukraine war should have fully delivered that message with regard to tanks.

Unless there is going to be a dramatic change in these ships’ armaments from the old ships this is a total waste of money and resources. The Missouri was used in the Persian Gulf War to launch cruise missiles from. A battleship can shoot a shell about 25 miles max. The Second World War proved the limits a battleship faces in a modern war. Battleships use to be how a navy measured its strength. Those days are long gone.

Absolutely. A huge waste of money for an obsolete navy

Doesn’t sound anything like a “Rip” of his dad’s policies. But it the Post, so consider the source

Carrier groups strike me as a large fragile expensive investment in all out war. They're good for gunboat diplomacy in circumstances short of a nuclear engagement but I don't know just how good they are on a cost/ benefit basis.

Yeah, there were some criticism but quite a bit of "blaming" Biden is because Hunter said his dad always told him that the responsibility was ultimately his.

You can understand how Republicans would miss this point.

The accountability is refreshing. I look forward to having that in the White House again.
