I believe the U.S. is preparing to de-commission one or more A/C carriers. We should consider a sale or lend lease of that(those) carrier(s) to Israel.

The carriers that the US is preparing to retire are over 40 years old.The Israeli navy has no logistical capability to handle & maintain such ships.Besides,it would need almost half it’s total personnel strength to just crew the ship.

Rembrandt,


Carriers without an extensive naval support group (screen) are sitting ducks.

Israel doesn't have that capability.
