    @oddtail@meow.social it's such an obvious waste of money

    if this turkey ever got in range to attack iran or even the houthis it would be sunk. not even getting into a near peer like china

    hell, even aircraft carriers are starting to look obsolete with modern drone and anti-ship missile technology. in the iran war, the US has kept its carrier groups thousand miles outside of the theater because they know iran has the capability to cause major damage to a carrier and its support ships (and this extreme distance is part of the reason why the US has had so much trouble keeping these ships supplied)

    @jiub

    Let's be honest and admit the only reason they're building them is because they're Bigger Ships with Bigger Guns and it's basically only because that's Donald Trump's level of understanding of anything. Bigger dick equals more goodness.

    Like, I sound like I'm joking but that's literally fucking it. I guarantee that's the whole reason the idea even got off the ground.

    @oddtail@meow.social oh absolutely, with donald trump it is as stupid and juvenile as it initially seems

    honestly i hope this gets built, it will be such an albatross around the neck of the US navy it will make it measurably less effective, taking money from projects that could actually be effective and requiring them to develop doctrines just so they can deploy it
