Japan didn’t aerial refuel any of their military planes until 2003, even though the F-15, F-4, and F-2 had the ability. Just another odd issue with jasdf.
If Californians have to put up with electoral college and having the same number of senators as Wyoming where basically nobody lives, we should at least get to protect ourselves from anti-science stupidity.
The space and shipbuilding federal contracts are the only thing making it not fully third world.
Alabama mostly not as shitty as you thought!
Having moved to Tennessee from California it is disgustingly full of shit Box and near new vehicles spewing nasty stink. It’s not just cats they also just drive around with a dead cylinder or what have you.
It’s important to remember the reason California can do this, they already had emission requirements before the federal government did.
Blackish green...
COTD!
Yeah as much shit as California drivers get, you have to be pretty skilled to go eighty on narrow freeway lanes with not one inch of median in either side and cars twenty feet apart.
The United States... are you ill? An article about the USN and the fact that United States citizens are commonly known through out the world as Americans... is this some type of semantic nonsense that Canadians and Mexicans are American too?
They aren’t invulnerable but it will take a massive amount of money, luck, and effort to take out... which leaves the other side looking at an angry American public, we have a history of massive retaliation.
Less than a month after 9/11 the United States Navy sent a swarm ashore. The F/A-18A/C had entered service in 1984 and had proven itself in the first gulf war. This time it was personal, no holds barred, and no quarter given. The USN had three carrier groups actively supporting Operation Enduring Freedom, the umbrella…
True and submarines are by far the most dangerous threat a carrier faces... six to eight torpedos might actually sink one.
Subs aren’t keepin up with a carrier at speed, the ships don’t go straight they are constantly turning and doubling back. The carrier CAP will take out the air recon planes or the guided missile destroyers Aegis systems will. A carrier is a tiny object in a vast sea. It also has jamming abilities and point defense…
Even without a nuclear response if you sink the Washington, Reagan, Kennedy, etc... Americans are going to seek massive vengeance, they better be in for a total war.
