Nukes make all of this irrelevant
What an incredibly wrong statement, I’m sorry.
There are untold numbers of times our Aircraft Carriers have been used and VERY relevant since nukes have been around.
Even when NOT AT WAR their strategic importance CANNOT be stated STRONGLY ENOUGH.
Not every war or battle is going to be “THE BIG ONE” with Russia.
In fact, none have.
If Russia had a dozen MODERN Aircraft carriers I would have to assume you would think THEY were irrelevant too.
You’d be wrong.
Yep, close only counts in horse shoes, hand grenades and nuclear weapons!
During the Cold War each carrier was said to have 100 nukes on board...
