Anyway, this guy had a big accent and the Drill Seargents used to like messing with him in a friendly way. They would ask him in front of the formation what's he doing in America. He used to yell out loud "Drill Seargent, I'm in America because I want to see big American titties." That would have the Drill Seargents laughing and with a big smile. You can tell Drill Seargents really liked that guy.

    US military spending is roughly 3% of GDP, of which about half goes to the blue water navy. Considering that the US typically spent 6% to 8% (and at one point 12%) of its GDP on its military during the Cold War, the current 3% is small by comparison. At the Bretton-Woods conference following World War II, the USA advocated freedom of trade and freedom of the seas as a replacement for the old pre-WW2 colonial system. Dozens of nations have since signed on to this system. To this day, one of the major roles of the US Navy is to patrol the world's oceans in order to ensure freedom of the seas. I recommend watching the video "How the New World Order was made" by CaspianReport for more details.

Edit: Italy still has one of the most advanced navy today (with the others being Japan, Britain, and France), with US ordering Italian frigates just this year when they realized they can't build proper frigates for ASW after the 2007 exercise when a Swedish submarine sank (not physically) USS Ronald Regan without being detected.

    When building the US's newer aircraft carriers, the set designers for Star Trek the Next Generation were actually consulted, because the Navy recognized that the bridge design of the Enterprise from that show was laid out in a way that had a number of desirable features, some of which had never been integrated into real US ships.

    I was in the US Navy - When we went underway or (deployed) for the 9 months out to sea we only needed to be supplied once every 3 months the supply ship would go to shore and get supplies and then go back to sea and supply the carrier, the carrier never has to go to shore while deployed. As for how tough the carrier is it can take a direct hit to the hull of the ship and still float it has compartments within the ship that can close off to keep afloat.

    Dont forget the 9 amphibious assault carriers America has (soon to be 10). 8 of these are old generation, with 1 new gen (with 10 more new gen scheduled to replace the older 8). These carriers can have the "hover" or v/stol aircraft or lots of attack helicopters or troop carrying helicopters. As mentioned above currently there are 11 commissioned Super Aircraft carriers with a 12 that is built but undergoing sea triales. The 12 is scheduled to replace the Nimitz, but the Ford Class still has some kinks so I expect that the Nimitz wont go away for years. Plus there is debate about going back to 12 carriers in service instead of the current 11, this way it's easier to do schedule and unscheduled maintenance without taking too many carriers offline. Technically America also has 5 aircraft carriers that are museums, and 2 more that are preserved that could become museums. So if things get real bad these could be brought back... though its unlikely as they're older and not as capable. And no, a single torpedoe couldn't destroy a modern Aircraft carrier. The US has purposefully tried to sink old carriers to test out their durability... it took countless hit and stayed afloat. They had to send a demolition team aboard to scuttle it. Yeah, a torpedoe would definitely incapacitate a carrier but they're designed to be quickly battle repaired then sail home to get fully fixed.

    We will have 12 carriers soon and that’s not counting the Marine’s escort carriers. As for the comment that a carrier would go down easy without the escort fleet, that’s not accurate the modern super carriers are extremely difficult to sink. It has defenses that are difficult to overcome. The reason we have 11 carriers is because one or more are being refurbished and upgraded and while the others are deployed also we have a rule that we must be able to fight on two fronts and win this goes back to ww2 when we were fighting in Europe and the pacific. Neat tidbit for you the number you see on the ship like on the USS Gerold Ford ship number is CVN-78 that basically means we’ve built 78 carriers.

Our economy is completely unsustainable and propped up only by enormous and ever growing amounts of debt. Total American debt( federal, state, local, and private) is over $82 trillion.

    Yeah bud. Former US Navy submariner here. Nuclear Reactor Operator. I was attached to the Teddy Roosevelt battlegroup in 2001/2002 for our Med run. I never wanted to be on a carrier, too many people. Roughly 130 guys on a Fast attack sub. I knew my captain, and he knew me. Carriers are also bomb magnets. We played rabbit boat with our battle group all the time during exercises, and they never detected us unless we let them (switching pumps to fast speed and banging hull with wrenches). If we wanted to sink them, nothing was going to stop us. The surface guys called us "Bubbleheads," and we called them "Targets" or Skimmers. The carriers are still very cool. Each one is the 6th largest air force in the world, are the key to US force projection abroad, and are the basis of our superpower status. It's cool to see our NATO allies recognizing just how impressive our Navy is. That deterrent is absolutely crucial for global security. I'm glad we have this stuff, but also glad to have lots of good NATO allies. Awesome to have you on our side.

The long development is also part of the reason why the US kept the Enterprise (CVN-65) running for so much longer than they had planned to. Also I would like to point out that the carriers dont have a top speed of 35 mph, they have an un-classified speed of 35+ mph, they can go much quicker, and the old Enterprise was the fastest ship on the planet.

In 2005 the U.S. did test on an older aircraft carrier (USS America) to see how much abuse they could take before sinking so they could use that information is designing future aircraft carriers.

    From a technical point of view, this is both correct and wrong. An aircraft carrier - like the America, in the example you cited - can take a TON of abuse and stay afloat. But being afloat doesn't mean much. A single torpedo could, in fact, take a carrier off the board if it damages the screws. If a carrier can't make enough speed, they can't launch aircraft. (You have to have air moving over the deck for lift on the wings, even with a catapult). Usually that means the carrier turns into the wind and brings speed up to around 30 knots to commence flight operations. If you damage to screws to the point where she can still move, but not fast enough to launch aircraft, then you have, in fact, "taken out" an aircraft carrier, even if she's still afloat.

    Russia doesn’t really have one anymore. A crane fell through its deck and then caught on fire during repairs. They are t even repairing it agin because of how expensive it would be.
