And some retard on the poli board was bitching about how long it takes to build a super carrier. I guess now we know why.

I thought I remembered the name from the Midway books I have read.
tough old ship named after a tough old bastard
will probably be replaced by the USS Trayvon Martin or USS Debbie Wasserman Schultz

To be honest, they probably took 2 hours or more between hits to assess damage, and started off with lighter stuff before using anything that might sink the ship.

Only got 30 years out of the ship? Seems like nothing.

Here's a different video source* of the firings, that CNN website is atrocious. LINK
At the 7:15 mark of this video, there's a hit from a sub. It's impressive from the force of the explosion and that the ship stayed upright after the hit.

True, but it was done as a operational ship at that point.

A decade to build a carrier means there's too many bureaucratic layers.
You missed the point dullard.

"Dog the hatches". That's water tight integrity at its finest. Hoorah shipmates!
