The very concept of an aircraft carrier is rather inconvenient: it worked to some extent when the planes were slow, it might work again when planes will have vertical landing. Right now, with horizontal landing jets, it is just a technological nightmare.

Aircraft carriers is how the US projects power anywhere anytime in the globe. I wonder where does this leave the US's chances against China if they are having a bad time against a poor country with negligible military and no manufacturing base that suffered a decade of blockade, famine and bombings.
