THERE IS NO NEED FOR A NAVY

When you have nuclear powered aircraft, you no longer need a navy. If the NUCLEAR blackbird A-12 had been used in Vietnam. It could have been based out of the Philippines and had a faster response time than carrier based aircraft. The whole US Navy is outdated garbage. The whole fleet would be sacrificed in some pre-emptive strike scenarios. So why have a navy? The only answer is corporate welfare. There is no need for a navy. The continental United States is your aircraft carrier, when you have a fleet of hypersonic aerospace planes. Pilots could do their mission and come home to their families. I guess Navy pilots like being on a cramped ship sharing a room some other sweaty dude.
