Point of fact re: aircraft carriers...

We've actually had aircraft carriers for quite some time. My Dad used to take off and land on one of them near East Asia 1969 - 1972.

Maybe they didn't have them in France, though, so it's understandable that Mitt may not have heard on them.

Not full scale carriers, but carriers were fully deployed before WWII.
