I’d wish for you to have to live through a warzone between two ideologies while your normal ass is just trying to make a living through it all, but with my luck you’re one of my dumbass neighbors literally or figuratively.
And that wouldn’t be fair to the rest of the innocents around you.
I’m shocked it hasn’t happened to me before, but for the first time online in 15 years I actually feel this sentiment; fuck you very much and all you stand for.
Not all.
Carriers tend to have internal hangar spaces, repair/loadout spaces, machining capability, assisted takeoff/landing systems on the flight deck, etc.
To “carry” the aircraft and expect them to perform their roles, the carrier has to be a mobile light airfield and not just a deck to land and take off from.
Edit: Not to say they can’t sail or don’t with any of them on the flight deck of course, but that’s maintaining a certain level of readiness that has some posturing inherent. I guess that’s true for all military readiness doctrines.
