Iirc to effectively cover the globe we need 11 or 12 carriers.

We've been down this path before. We (Americans) really don't like our post ww2 role of world cop. However the people at the top (including both parties) KNOW how effective we've been, for everyone really. Set the talk aside and look at the actions.

But 2 military actions have drained us, and the previous increase does cause bloat. But we don't want to get too low - there are serious, dead serious, issues clearly on the horizon. Be prepared.

I have no answer.
