I remember when Ronald Reagan was president, Senator Gary Hart of Colorado wanted the Navy to build small aircraft carriers.
Secretary of the Navy John Lehman derisively called those proposed ships, “Gary Hart carriers.”

The anti carrier crowd thinks one cruise missile hit would “destroy” an A/C carrier. They are crazy.

The “Sea Control Ships” were an experiments started under Carter. They used LHA’s embarking Harriers to simulate the concept. It was the WW2 escort carrier warmed-over.
