Reply #35: "war won't happen because the consequences would be terrible"

The logic of that is impeccable, but it has been proven often enough in the past that logic isn't the deciding factor in whether something happens. Particularly whether wars happen.

If we go to war with China (which would be pretty stupid to begin with anyway) and we use our carriers, then its obvious they would try to sink them. Given the advances in offensive weaponry, my understanding is they're all going to the bottom, even without this new missile. I would guess the navy has been well aware of this for some time and wouldn't use them.
