Is the carrier a nuke? If it is, it could light up the whole island.
USN has NO non-nuke Carriers in service. And my Big Brother is in the CoastGuard at Norfolk, Now I wonder if he got pulled and deployed to Haiti. Hope the Sailors stay safe. Dangerous world when all facilities fall down.
Your post implies that there is a power distribution infrastructure in Haiti. The power from a CVN would set the nearest substation on fire, and that’s about it.
