RE:RE:US may deploy second carrier to IsraelUnfortunately, Iran is not the only potential threat to Israel within striking distance.
Fire is now being exchanged with Lebanon, and Syria.
Watch Egypt, as it tries to deliver aid, which Israel has warned not to attempt to deliver along the southern Gaza border at Raffa.
Experienced wrote: The Ford class aircraft carrier has more fighter aircraft onboard than the total number of F18s that are operational in the whole Canadian airforce. Iran has 34 F16s of which 66% are estimated to be operational. The rest of the fleet are Soviet era fighters dating back to 1979 which would be totally useless today. This means that the Ford by itself has 3X the number of decent operational Iranian fighter jets.
Do they need another aircraft carrier?
Nope. It is just virtue signalling to pretend that they are doing something when in reality they are doing nothing.
