I'd rather have 22 deployable assets instead of 11 for the money and manpower available.yankeedoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00030949627569532413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5624625396553110110.post-56650955502984799532010-07-06T06:02:25.539-05:002010-07-06T06:02:25.539-05:00Hey Drej!

The carriers may not go away soon-it's hard to tell at this point.<br /><br />I've never been on a modern carrier, but I've been on the WWII carrier Yorktown. That ship is a huge gray mountain! I can only imagine a modern ship.yankeedoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00030949627569532413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5624625396553110110.post-43382542814699252562010-07-06T01:15:04.515-05:002010-07-06T01:15:04.515-05:00Another great post.

I reckon it'd be a shame for the carriers to be phased out, though perhaps you're right and their time is simply coming to an end.<br />Got to go onboard the John C Stennis once when she docked in Fremantle a few years back. Very impressive. Enterprise paid a visit too, though due to her size I think she had to drop anchor off the coast. Maybe I'll still get the chance if they make a museum out of her.<br />drejAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5624625396553110110.post-86676722700172250182010-07-06T01:09:56.236-05:002010-07-06T01:09:56.236-05:00YDog I reckon it'll be a while before the big ...YDog I reckon it'll be a while before the big carriers go, look at how hard it was convince people the battleship was past it's use by date.<br /><br />PS can't say we haven't a sense of humour,<br />http://www.stonnington.vic.gov.au/www/html/1863-harold-holt-swim-centre.asp<br /><br />The Harold Holt Memorial PoolBangarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10736091204583349887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5624625396553110110.post-58987443889417723602010-07-05T18:57:28.072-05:002010-07-05T18:57:28.072-05:00Doc-Clever!

Be something if it was an Australian vessel that fired the torpedo/missile that sunk her.yankeedoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00030949627569532413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5624625396553110110.post-21424278925184684352010-07-05T16:19:50.073-05:002010-07-05T16:19:50.073-05:00Did the USS Harold Holt disappear at sea?
