It is not a WW2 fleet carrier. It does not need to run at high speed into the wind to get enough air flow under the wings of heavily laden bombers to get them airborne. It does not need to be able to outrun 30+ knot Kongō-class Battle Cruisers, with 16” guns. You might as well chuckle about how the ships we used in the SpanishAmerican War had more armor.
Could any of our carriers sway it out of existence with barely a thought? Yes. But what if China’s anti-carrier missiles keep our carriers a few hundred miles offshore? Read up on the Chinese drones swarming US Navy ships off the coast of California. There is good reason to believe that any small surface ship near one of these will be lost. And given that they are relatively small, cheap to build, and man, think about the implications of China having a few dozen of them.
I didn't say it was. I was drawing a comparison regarding
the new ships capabilities versus a ship of larger
proportions with considerably more speed.
The rest of your reply is superfluous.
THE CUTTERS, BOATS, AND AIRCRAFT OF THE U.S. COAST GUARD
The 154-foot cutters have a speed of more than 28 knots, and are based on an existing patrol boat design from Damen Shipyards.
Too much tech in one direction (drones) opens
vulnerabilities in another direction (naval campaigns).
You DO realize that aircraft aboard carriers have ranges much more than a few hundred miles, right?
I just showed you missiles that have a 200 mile range.
Would you like to withdraw your question?
