FEBA,

No! Only that they are ditching a dedicated AD asset.

I was merely making the point that the USN, like the RN, is establishing strike orientated Carrier Air Groups because, again like the RN, they know that's what their Carriers are going to be used for in the next few decades.

They see no reason to retain or replace the AIM-54 Phoenix capability because it no longer has a threat to defend against.

BTW,

Are you on the edge or just over it?
