Well, we drug one out of retirement to fire some rounds at Saddam back in desert storm, but it was mostly for show. Those thing were obsolete pretty quick, and everyone got rid of them once they saw what a naval airwing could do to them.

Me thinks carriers are going to go bye bye early in the next war - we only make them now for the pork.

Hey, I love paying all my taxes to the military toys, when we just can't figure out fucking healthcare and feeding the poor.
Send a multi million dollar jet, or a half million dollar missile. Don't bother with a chunk of metal flying faster than either of those can, with a much smaller signature. Nah that would be dumb. grumps said so

No they don't. They just upgrade the reactor. We already have mag catapults and lasers. Just add a new gun and wire it in.
