LO
LOL the American carrier force was not invincible in WW2 kid. See the war was larger than Pearl of Midway your fav movie of all time.So why do we need carriers if there is no chance of war? The fact is that no carrier can ever attack Russia or China
Why would a carrier attack Russia or China anyway? In World War Two the U.S. had a massive virtually invincible carrier force.
yet U.S. carriers rarely attacked Japan. Japan was dealt with by B-29 bomber attacks and submarine attacks on its shipping.
Why are you being stupid on purpose?
