The U.S. Navy's Great Aircraft Carrier Shortage
Story by Peter Suciu • 1h • 4 min read
 
Summary and Key Points: The USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) is en route to the Middle East to support commercial shipping and deter Iran-backed Houthis, replacing the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) in the Red Sea.
 
-This deployment highlights a critical "gap" in the Indo-Pacific, with CVN-76 in the Pacific post-Japan deployment and CVN-73 near South America.

-Admiral S.J. Paparo emphasizes the indispensable role of aircraft carriers in power projection, but the US Navy faces a shortage, with only five to six carriers operational at a time.

Maybe they'd have more aircraft carriers if they didn't waste all that money on building Littoral Combat Ships (LCS - Little Crappy Ship).

There is only one possible solution.  Kick out all white, conservative, patriotic males to make room for more women, gays, and trannies! :whistle:

The USN has 11 carriers, four of which are in Norfolk getting repaired/refitted.

The USS John F. Kennedy (CVN 79) (Ford Class) has yet to be commissioned.
