  2. Japan sending 4 carriers across the sea was 1941, this is 2016, warfare and tactics are very different. The QE can travel a long distance , true but its has to limit its speed in order to conserve fuel. Example US CVNs can sustain 30 plus knots for as long as needed which allows them to get around quickly, QEs max out at 25 knots and are limited by fuel reserves. As for your nuke theory, nope. Both the US and UK have top of the line missile defense furthermore, no one what to get into a throw weight with the US. 14 SSBN tends to deter that idea Syria is mainly an air support mission, there are virtually no ground troops there Many ports dont allow carriers ,example in the UK, carriers park at sea and crew ride ferries plus not docking allows for faster departure

  3. Joe Soap  'f Americans want to spend billions of taxpayers money to squeeze an extra 5 knots out of your carries suit yourselves"  5 extra knots ? US CVNs have been clocked at over 35 knots
