Report: Costly USN Aircraft Carriers May Be Too Vulnerable To Keep | Defense News | defensenews.com
The linked item is a piece from
Defense News summarising a report which undermines the whole big carrier rationale, and F35 into the bargain. The report comes from the
Center for a New American Security. Just what you want to read when the UK is about to get back into fixed-wing carriers in a big way - well, big for us - and buying F35 to fly off it.
Now, I don't know anything about CNAS, or its agenda, so it may not be the most impartial of commentators. It does seem to be deliberately provocative and so I'm sure the knowledgeable can provide objective criticism. While it is thought provoking, I cannot see even the remotest possibility of the US (or UK) defence policy changing tack on carrier power - well not for the reasons in the report anyway.
