Roosevelt was in Vietnam when it brought the cases aboard, and the Reagan has been docked for months at Yokohama, no?

As if the U.S. isn't going to detour another.

I was at sea roughly 70% of my time in the Navy (15 out of 20 months). Ports of call amounted to 4 weeks total...give or take. As such 14/20...70%. Maybe I was just stationed on pretty active ships.

what is your point??? What are the answers to your questions?
I don't recall China ever being without military capability.

World War 2 with Japan was last time we fought a trading partner.

Am I the only one surprised that Brazil has an aircraft carrier?

I think in a true time of crisis both of those would set sail immediately

Too bad there are no soldiers on a carrier just squids and jar heads and not enough jar heads to even eat an entire box of crayons.

Fast attack subs are the real workhorses of the modern navy anyway. Surface combatants are basically just carrier defense systems and carriers are just extended land attack/power projection platforms.
If there’s any ships to be sunk, surveillance to be done, commandos to be transported, ports to be blocked, boomers to be tracked, anything that we think of in traditional naval vessel actions, it’s done by subs these days.
One fast attack sub is easily worth 3-5 destroyers. Their op tempo is significantly higher as well.

This brings a thought to mind: if you're on one of the boomers that goes underwater for six months at a time, do you actually get news from the outside world at all?
If you went down in, say, early January of 2020 and didn't come back until July 2020, holy shite that would be wild.

Get a grip. it's not like either carrier was about to start dropping bombs on China.
