> The influential U.S. Adm. Hyman Rickover shared this view. In a 1982 congressional hearing, legislators asked him how long American carriers would survive in an actual war. Rickover’s response? “Forty-eight hours,” he said. That's a terrifying assessment, and tells us that if there was a war, we don't really know what anyone would be fighting it with. Perhaps the only thing we can feel good about is that if the US has been wasting its military budget on aircraft carriers, China appears to be pretty eager to emulate this mistake. |
