Faster ships with more aircraft cover much more area than their literal footprint. Also missiles with longer range on board those ships are a big help too.
Feel free to Google it.
Feel free to google that only 60% of our carriers are on station at any one time, and they need sppt, and range of the super hornet is 2000 miles dopey, which means mission wise 1000 miles, and missles are missiles they don't take the place of ships, who carry them and what goes with them, thx for demonstrating another tropic you don't have a handle on.......
Please
Don't double down on dumb just because Romney did
Ships from 1916 were built out of cast iron held together with rivits ....think Titanic
To compare them to today's Navy is idiocy. Do you know how missiles are targeted? One shot, one kill.
Romney comparing a 1916 Navy to today is like comparing horse and buggies to tanks
