Submarine aircraft carrier in 2010? by
Henry J Cobb
Has anybody considered equipping one of the SSGNs with a full squadron
of Cormorant MPUAVs?
The biggest problem I see with it is how do you refuel and rearm them

Would it just be used for delivering people and small items to flatops

deep raids?
Which service will...

Henry J Cobb

B: The USMC plans to buy zero F-35Cs.
Does A + B mean that the next USN big deck carrier will have a ski ramp?
