US Aircraft Carrier Capabilities

I see your aircraft carrier, and raise you 1 nuclear sub.....

I find it reassuring that a documentary is not readily available on youtube about the capabilities of SSN23 which can be tasked with similar operations.

That's a bluff.

The Russians aren't standing still either, literally!

Supermaneuverability stunts are really impressive and probably a lot of fun. I also suspect 90% of what was demonstrated has almost no utility aside from showing off.

.

Still really cool though.

Looks like a mating ritual instead.

That's some incredible flying!

Reminds me of something...

There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots......

Makes me think of this video. (pilots did make it out alive)

.

and another one, pilot also made it.

I bet these really come in handy kicking those terrorists ass. We probably need more since we haven't done such a good job stopping the terrorists.

However, when the big one comes, it won't take but a small missile with a small nuclear warhead to take it out.

Have some today,

One US aircraft carrier has a more powerful air force than 70% of all countries.
It could be the other 30% we have to worry about!
