So not a carrier then, it's a loser.

He (Trump) ruled out foul play and said there was “nothing to hide.”

Why is it when he says things like that it instantly feels suspicious?

Before you stand two doors, one leads to safety and the other to certain death. Guarding them are two people. You may ask only one question, but beware! One always tells the truth, and the other is Trump.

No questions needed, all you'd need to do is a quick sniff test... He'll be the one that smells like pure shit.

I'm starting to feel that this is the Navy's way of upgrading their hardware.

Just toss the old stuff into the ocean ... ask for new replacements.

Easy peesy ... out with the old, in with the new.

I'm not gonna defend this, but the pilots who lose an aircraft get the whole incident investigated. They may not fly again if they suffered a back injury or made a mistake.

Regardless, its drone time. Drones can be faster and more Agile, perhaps both at the same time. The problem has always been having a person inside the thing. Now, put the pilot down on the ground and replace him or her or them with an AI assisted remote control and you've got a new way to defeat the enemy.....housing costs. Something like that. What do I know.
