Significantly more than one action.
Inexpensive compared to others - anyone who understands where the money goes is pretty clear the carriers are a long way from the biggest pot.
Once again, complete lack of understanding of "escorts" vs task group. What pray, are we deploying these escorts around the globe to escort? They do "stuff". Is that "stuff" more or less effective than a task group?
