Wah, Wah, Wah. When you are wrong, admit it and move on.

That would be fine if I was wrong. I gave a reasonable and correct
answer - just not the one YOU wanted. Why are you the arbiter of
what is correct?

It has nothing to do with my wants, it has to do with your error. To
wit: Mr. Wise correctly noted there will always be aircraft on a
carrier. You neglected to note the error of your comment, much less
accept the correction.

In short, you *are* wrong, twice now.

In my experience of serving on a carrier, there were NOT always aircraft
aboard. I don't recall ever pulling into our home port with embarked a/c,
and there were a couple of times when we went almost 24 hrs unadorned
with flying machines of any type when we were close to home. What say,
Pechs? We were there at the same time - CV-41.
