I see you put your location as being somewhere in cyberspace. To make the following statement you must be way out there in deep space.
If you want to be relegated to performing air police missions and the occasional overseas deployment under Uncle Sam's security umbrella well then you do not need the carriers. Your obsolete (they certainly will be around 2015) Eurofighters should deter Russia as long as Uncle provides back up.
Unlike Jacko, I agree we need the carriers but if you think that a) the light blue mob are only capable of air police missions or that b) Typhoon is going to be obsolete in seven years, you are well and truly out of it on something. I'll have some of whatever you're taking but I think I'd better take a month's leave first, it will be a long way back down!
