> [@\*Official\* Shredd & Reagan Cruise Night Thread](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-shredd-reagan-cruise-night-thread/47806/409): > > really bro? what about the aircraft that carry laser guided missles, smart bombs, etc? the US Navy has every theatre we are operating in covered right now. you do realize that us US NAVY has THE WORLDS LARGEST “AIR FORCE” dont you? fleet size is relevant to the operations. If you knew anything, you would know that operations on the ground do not take place without operations in the sky. without those ships, you have no battle groups, without battle groups you do not have aircraft carriers, etc etc etc. maybe in your peanut brain you would see it as a perfect wordl scenario, but in the real world, thats just never going to happen. Yes my peanut brain. LOL!! When was the last major navel battle. Let me tell you it 1988 we sunk an Iranian ship in retaliation for them mining one of ours. Last time they did there real job. We have air force based in Saudi Arabia and Qatar to name just 2. So why do we need 2 carriers based in the gulf. All they due is watch Iran just in case that’s it. Its a waste. Btw that I believe ends soon. I’ve watched the airspace in Iraq on one of my deployments there. I was with an Army Apache unit. Never saw any Navy aircraft in our airspace hmm I wonder why. Saw quite a few Air force and Marines but never any Navy? My peanut brain did 13 years of service in the US Army with 2.5 years in combat zones. When I was in 2-14th Infantry 10th Mountain Division the entire time deployed ALL of our close air support was done by predator or apache. The battlefield has changed They need to enforce sanctions on countrys by inspecting ship that say might try to move arms or oil from Iran to other countrys. I truly dought that that task requires 2 carriers. So say what you want but I won’t buy into the hype.
