  1.  @deeznoots6241  by USA law, the USN shall have 11 in-service carriers. Currently 68 thru 78. 68 Nimitz will decommission in a few years (after 50 yrs of service), and 79 Kennedy will Commission in about 2 years to replace 68. Then 80 for 69 ... etc.

  4.  @lynnwood7205  ahhhhh, the perks .... so many perks .... Btw: cost of systems that are permanently installed on the ship (w engineering in situations) are included in the Ship New Construction cost. E.g. catapults, CIWS, to forklifts, dental chairs are in the SCN. You are correct, airplanes are separate as it rightful must be.

  5.  @taivaankumma  yeah Brooklyn had it's own swagger even before the hipsters and gentrifiers jacked up the prices. And about the navy, there was this thing called the Brooklyn Navy Yard, so yeah...there was also love. 😁

  6.  @echotango9384 " hat " trick correct? Suzutsuki, lost her bow 3 times and survived the war. 1st by submarine torpedo, 2nd by mining, 3rd by air attack. IJN I-19, scored a hat trick w a single torpedo salvo. Check out the Wasp Guide. As for hat trick of wars, many USN ships served WW2, Korea and Vietnam. Some Iowa Class got 4 w Gulf War 1. Midway got the 3 w Korea, Vietnam and GW 1.
