    Why does the US need more aircraft carriers?

    The US has ten and the rest of the world 7. Only Italy has 2. So any one country on one country war and we are at least 5 to one. Italy is an ally and France who has 1 also is. So the potential conflict countries have 4 in total. So we need more then a 2.5 to one advantage?

    Look at the list and the. Honestly say you think the US is undermanned?

      American aircraft carriers are mobile military installations so we can close our bases in the Philippines, Qatar, etc. A lot less expensive and less bullshit by locals. I think they are too risky but whatever.

          China paid for all 10, we only use them but we don't own them. China can repossess them at any time leaving us with zero.

                  Its because of Preemptiveness (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preemptive_war).

                  So, the US has floating, mobile airports so that it can strike anywhere in the world to prevent a larger conflict from happening. "Anywhere" means anywhere in N. America, S. America, Africa, Middle East, Europe, and the Pacific -- that's a lot of area if you think about it.

                  Having a mobile airport can reduce transit time by days.

                  Also, there might be 10 carriers but they go on rotation -- like, 1/3rd are in dock while 2/3rds are out at sea. So, really, its like 6 or 7 carriers around the globe and 3 are being maintained (and out of duty). This is another reason why there are so many carriers -- there's a need for other carriers to cover for the ones being maintained.

                  They're not just floating there doing nothing either. For example, an aircraft carrier might be where a SEAL team begins their Operation. The team would then board a helicopter to go into, lets say, Somalia, for a hostage rescue.

                  If the carrier wasn't floating near the horn of Africa, then the US might not have been able to carry out the mission since, if no country within 1/2 fuel tank wanted to house the helicopter and team, the mission would have been impossible.

                  So, yeah, there's a strategic need for carriers.

                          If you look at history, they are not used this way. We do not enter every conflict with days to minimize its spread or some such. There is really no defensive need for this many.

                          Do we use them to interfere around the world. Yep, that seems to be the main use. Kind of an expensive way to fuck around in the third world.

                            The thread is titled "Why does the US need more aircraft carriers?" and my post does explain the operational need.

                            If you disagree, write a letter to your congressman. If you're not an American, enjoy the presence of our aircraft carriers. There's nothing you can do.

                              "Interfere" is not be the right word, "have influence" is a better way of phrasing it, and as the biggest economy in the world there is no good argument why we shouldn't have a say in what goes on around the world.

                                                  The United States minded it's own business until Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, dragging the US into World War Two. When we got dragged into WW2, the United States needed aircraft carriers to fight the Japanese in the South Pacific. Just to give you an example of how much we depended on aircraft carriers to fight the Japanese, during WWII we had 7 aircraft carriers when the Japanese first attacked, and eventually built another 160 aircraft carriers during the war itself.

                                                  Why do we need so many aircraft carriers? After being dragged into World War, the United States policy has been to ensure we have the ability to project military power anywhere in the world nearly instantly. The only way to do this is to have military bases around the world, and fill in the gaps with aircraft carriers.

                                                  Aircraft carriers are just amazing...

                                                                        If you disagree, write a letter to your congressman. If you're not an American, enjoy the presence of our aircraft carriers. There's nothing you can do.
                                                                        You spouted a reason. I pointed out that the facts don't seem to support thst.

                                                                        I think the main arguement against is that rest of the world gets by with out them. Europe spends way less on military by alomost any measure then we do and they are doing fine and even better domestically. It seems to bring up the possibility that being the only country going large on aircraft carriers is not really paying off.

The US wonders why we are viewed with suspicion all over the world when we have a military thst has nothing to do with defending our shores and everything to do with attacking theirs.

After being dragged into World War, the United States policy has been to ensure we have the ability to project military power anywhere in the world nearly instantly. The only way to do this is to have military bases around the world, and fill in the gaps with aircraft carriers.

                                                                                      Aircraft carriers are just amazing...

The US wonders why we are viewed with suspicion all over the world when we have a military thst has nothing to do with defending our shores and everything to do with attacking theirs.

                                                                                                    Our government certainly does not "wonder" and I personally am not aware of anyone that "wonders".

                                                                                                    Aircraft carriers have multiple roles but their primary role is to "project" military power or preposition military power around the globe. The best defense is a good offense and we have tremendous offensive capabilities. The greatest offensive power the world has ever known. There is not a country on the earth that can even begin to compare with our offensive capabilities.
