Those Japanese aircraft carriers were wasted ... just as soon as the American commanders knew where they were. I'll stick by 'sitting ducks' since they would have been sent to Neptune in Pearl Harbor except for the surprise which was brilliantly executed.<br /><br />Instead of being so clever, why not add external tanks to the drones and forget about the pork barrel.<br /><br />DFW is toast since there's Air Force all over Fort Worth along with Lockheed Martin.

Also if they are fuselage attached then achieving supersonic speeds in the atmosphere would be nearly impossible.<br /> If the massive ships are sitting ducks why were all the huge battleships and aircraft carriers of WWE II sunk by aircraft. ie Bismarck or Yamamoto. The German Wolfpacks decimated shipping lanes but not the big boys.<br /> They ran the Yamamoto aground and it still continued to fire it's 16 or 18" guns <br /> The aircraft carrier does not need to be stealth if it's planes are. <br /> But I dont really care as if they decided to do more than spar it will not take long for them to annihilate Tennessee to eliminate Oak Ridge. <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
