I think we should add Bofors 40mm cannons along with 30mm Goal Post units and anti-ship missiles. What we have now can be overwhelmed and exhausted. And they can’t reload. I don’t forsee attacks on our carriers to be a one shot deal.

The real threat to a CVBG is from subs; not surface or air.

Surface and air attacks are to be expected and can be dealt with. The sub attack is the real menace.
