The Chinese are the ones with the supersonic rockets that can take out our carriers. The laser isd designed to counter the immediate Chines threat to our fleet. If it works, we retain naval superiority fir the foreseeable future. As long as we can get rid of the Kenyan Marxist.

Obama thinks to be “fair” the US military must be reduced to that of other countries.

He will try and defund any program that gives the United States an “unfair” advantage.

I think a lot of people do not understand this.

He is a very dangerous person.

"what navy is that in the pic"

Those are US Navy Amphibious Assault Ships.

I've never seen that many in one place!

They carry 1900 Marines, 40 helicopters, 4 Tanks and all vehicles/supplies necessary to support a full Battalion Landing Team for 30 days.

Over coming the reload and energy requirements is a bitch.

Ships can have the advantage of Nuclear Reactors on board.
