Great But what will happen when President Clinton cancels F35b on taking office?
I don't think that will happen, what with the USMC expecting to get lots of them. Without F35B what will become of all those LHA(R)s etc? Also wasn't the USAF interested in F35B?
When did we start appointing non aviating Carrier drivers? Oh no! he's not a submariner, is he?
About the same time that the carrier was invented during the First World War.
Those of you with an interest in history will know that today is the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The US carriers were not in port that day, hence the Japanese aircraft (also carrierborne) could not hit them. As a result, the US was able to fight an expeditionary war far from friendly territory.
