    I do not use "Foul Language" and have no reason to call out American Media, instead I call out Russian Propaganda.

    Clear. All you don’t like is Russian propaganda for you. The penalty for improper parking - the Russians are to blame. Your wife cheated on you - Russians are to blame. And, of course, rain, snow and ice are Russian tricks. Who is your doctor?

    Ehm ... Destroyer, in all honor, please stay on facts:

    #1
    The US Navy has actually 11 Aircraft Carriers in Service, 10 are of Nimitz class and 1 is of the new Gerald-R,-Ford-Class! In addition to these 11 real aircraft carriers, there are others that look like a smaller aircraft carrier, but by definition are not - the 8 ships of the Wasp class - which are LHD's = Landing Helicopter Dock = Amphibious landing vessels!

    #2
    These 11 aircraft carriers are in constant use, subsequent overhaul and repair, including conversion and modernization, then operational preparation and then deployment again. So it's never all carriers in active service at the same time ... and that's normal and your accusing is out of this nonsense as it is untrue that 8 are currently not in service!

    #3
    Is your whole thread opened by you here just a kind of lousy "payback" to the bad USA for what was written from the West about your carrier Admiral Kusnetzov? Really now

    If I were a programmer working on intelligent guidance systems for anti-ship missiles, I would, of course, selfishly want my job to be as easy as possible.

    If my boss said, "you've got to design a missile that can interpret radar and satellite imagery and other positioning data, to hit a small, fast, low-profile fibre-class boat" .... I would say, "Jeez boss ... that's a tough assignment... can't I have an easier one?"

    And if he said, "Well, I could put you on our Easy, Beginner's Project: designing a guidance system that can hit a large, high profile, slow, heat-generating, metal target ... and one that will have metal airplanes landing and taking off from it , with radio communications from it to the planes .. lots of radio-frequency spectrum emissions.." ... oh, I would be SO grateful!!!! Do that one in my sleep.

    On the other hand .. I've been to Fleet Week in the Bay Area ... and those carriers are so beautiful!!! Well worth 13 billion. What else do we have to spend the money on?

    How about ...
    Your dilapidated public schools, unoccupied teachers' posts, your dilapidated bridges in the country, your ailing telephone networks, your ailing power grids ...

    The American Civil Society of Engineers, the largest professional association of engineers, rated the US infrastructure with the overall grade D +!

    Sure ... Trump, wants to modernize all that, which costs about 1.5 trillion US dollars, according to its own figures of the US government, but from federal funds he wants to provide ur 400 billion and also save, for example, in schools!

    How about Medicare?

    Or improving infrastructure across the nation?

    Or any one of dozens of needed projects that help Americans in general?

    As opposed to awarding the defence contractors clover for ever?

    Just a thought though... :)

    For example try to make free health care. Or allocate this money to create real jobs. There are many ways to intelligently spend this money.

    Unfortunately, the concept of "logic" or "common sense" is not available to you. Therefore, you always try to insult a person in a discussion.

    Even the new American aircraft carrier is not in operation due to defects. In that case, what can we say about old American ships?... However, even American generals recognize the pitiable condition of the American fleet.

    Sure, the newest one has some problems, what is not unusual for a complete new system to have where no earlier test run to check is possible.
    About the old one ... what are these 10 carriers of the Nimitz class, they are so far in good condition. They have to serve as all nujclear powered carriers for about 50 years and they will be replaced by this new Gerlad-R.-Forc-Class carriers. The oldest one - USS Nimitz itself .. should be replaced when the second or the third new carrier is ready.

    If you find it insulting then evaluate what you do here and use your powerful logic to understand you just insulted yourself.

    RUSSIAN TROLL ALERT!!!

    Why do you sign your comment "Russian Troll"? In fact, you are an American troll. By the way, you can not bother leaving your signature. Everyone and without your signature understand who you are.

    I state RUSSIAN TROLL ALERT!!! to bring attention to your existence here and in doing so eliminate the reason for you doing so. Once you have been exposed my hope is your handlers will recognize the futility of your continuation here and assign you elsewhere, freeing us of your presence and allowing someone with more skill at trolling to take your place ( we would appreciate a female this time guys). By the way...the Signature is that little thingy at the very bottom of every post, just so you know.

    I already wrote to you, we all know who you are. Do not hysterics. If you like to be "Russian", let it be so. You are not nervous.

    As stated, I will not allow you to distract away from being called out as a RUSSIAN TROLL especially not by trying to place your affliction unto me. You have been found out for quite some time by everyone of minimal interaction with you and should report this to your bosses so we can get a more competent under bridge dweller. Also, for your handlers, work on your scripting folks because this has been a fiasco of blatancy worthy of serious ridicule....you folks suck at this.

    RUSSIAN TROLL ALERT!!!!

    I am hopeful this worked as it has not been back so far.....maybe his boss took my advice.

    Keeping eyes open for the new version.

    It's an undiagnosed condition. The medical evidence to date suggest that it stems from a nasty and impossible to eradicate virus that has swept across America. There is no known antidote as yet, so get used to it I reckon.

    Tecoyah isn't such a bad guy really, but he does go over the top with his Shadow projection. I doubt that will ever change so best to just ignore it...

    There's plenty of room to debate the development philosophy in naval ship building. Whether it makes greater fiscal sense to develop all new technologies to a high level before using them in a design, or doing the design and development as the ship is built and tested at sea. Both methods are valid and result in advances. One may cost more, another may take more time.

    This aircraft carrier already displays many exceptional design accomplishments. Eventually it will be completed, all technologies proven reliable and rugged. That is the nature of pushing technological envelopes, many setbacks will happen on the way to final success. We did not fly to the Moon on the first rocket built. The first submarine did not explore the deepest parts of the ocean. Nor did the 100th rocket or submarine.

    If there is any big expensive science, engineering and technology project that played out cheap, simple, quick and easy, I have never heard of it.
