It Houses like 10,000 ssaliors ,I think ,it has been awhile since I read up on it but it is the navies new pride and joy

That sounds like a damn fine ship! Jesus, there's only one name for a ship like that...the USS Ronald Reagan. C'mon are you really gonna call it the Bill Clinton?

Building of USS Ronald Reagan

Hot damn! Now that is a ship.

I don't look at that ship and think "Bill Clinton."
Kill 'em all. Hoo-rah.

Defenses Against Subs to Be Reviewed

Navy officials confirmed yesterday that an aircraft carrier battle group failed to detect a Chinese submarine that surfaced within weapons range of the USS Kitty Hawk. Anti-submarine defenses for the carrier battle group will be reviewed as a result, they said.
"It was not detected," said one Navy official of the encounter with a Chinese diesel-powered attack submarine. "And we're concerned about that, obviously."
The Chinese Song-class attack submarine surfaced near the carrier in deep waters off Okinawa on Oct. 26. It was armed with wake-homing torpedos and anti-ship cruise missiles.

I seem to recall pointing out earlier that aircraft carriers are nothing but targets in a submarine's cross hairs. Time for the nay-sayers to say they should have listened to the ex-submariner.

That's like saying submarines are nothing but marks on a helo's flight map.

They're not. Helicopters can't see submarines when they're below PD. And real submarines don't spend much time that close to the surface. They're usually several hundred feet down.

And, as any diver will tell you, it's dark down there. And the submarines are painted dead, flat black.
