Aircraft Carriers and Supercarriers are certainly white elephants.... if you ignore the fact they are always surrounded by a fleet of other warships protecting them lol. People always quote the simulation "Oh we threw 50 Iranian style missle boats and sunk the carrier" No shit.

They aren't meant to defend or assault things themselves, because in essence they're just armed and armored TRANSPORT vessels. They need escorts to get maximum efficiency and usage

Sure, but I just don't trust aegis against the DF-21D and its weird MARVs/trajectory, especially given recent Chinese ISR improvements.

Yeah the CWIS is a bit outdated as far as defense systems go. But thats a rectifiable issue, nothing wrong with the idea of aircraft carriers

well, that leads us to *buzzword warning incoming* debating the changing character v. nature of war (e.g. the sorts of protracted campaigns that the ability to project naval aviation would be a part of are extremely unlikely)

4th Generation Warfare is odd because it only exists due to the circumstances around it. The reason no one compets with the American Navy is because no one CAN compete. The American Navy is what rules the high seas and also guarantees intl. trade.

Basically, the Naval Pressure exerted by the American Navy is so vast that it appears like its not necessary at all.
