all from the public domain, but it is significant as it affects people that I love.
I am very well aware of the failures in design of the Ford - much more than you……I am also aware that it has many amazing upgrades. This has been well documented and is not a secret.
The Ford has served as a template -sometimes by negative example, and the Kennedy is expected by all to be the greatest badass carrier of all time.
Until recently, the many design woes of the Ford kept it in the Atlantic as a training group for officers, etc..
But the need became so great, that they actually sent her into the Middle East region last year.
The Kennedy is badly needed, and while the Ford was initially a disappointment on a grand scale, her class was preserved because it could be fixed and turned into what it was meant to be all along. The Ford itself has spent a very long time in dry docks, but the result has been a serviceable carrier.
This perspective was shared by both sides on the Kennedy after upgrades and redesigns were done. The loss of funding is NOT because congress lost faith in the Ford class, it was because of lack of money because of the incredible expense of the Ukrainian aid.
Stop pretending you are the expert in the room, doofus. The knowledge you think you have specially was merely being presumed by me.
PS - I am not pulling a Ty.
