And so USS JFK, the the Kennedy, that's already got the electronic catapults.
matched
Uh the next carrier, we'll see if that, if it's too late to maybe change on those catapults.
matched
But obviously that's uh there's a China component to that that just adds subtext, Steve.
matched
You can find me on all the socials at Reporter McCabe Steve and thanks for having me on.
matched
Well, I think, you know, the sort of the rules change, right, when you lose sight of land.
matched
And when you're at sea for a long time, I as a uh veteran of the Coast Guard, I don't have any kind of sea time, extended sea time that maybe you or other, you know, Navy sailors have.
matched
But when you're gone, you know, once you start going thirty days at sea, you know, your mind starts to melt a little bit and it affects everybody.
matched
And so the idea
matched
that USS Lincoln and its uh the destroyers and everyone in that carrier group and really this two dozen warships in theater, they've been throwing lead down range at an op tempo that has to absolutely terrify
matched
You know, any hostile power looking at the Japanese, excuse me, the Chinese should have four active aircraft carriers by the end of 28.
matched
But they're looking at what we're doing, and there's no way they can do the flight ops and everything else.
matched
And the logistics piece, as you were talking about, with these two dozen ships, you know, uh, in the last month, USS Lincoln has been visited twice by military sea lifter.
matched
command doing uh, you know, uh ship to ship replenishment.
matched
But that in itself is very dangerous.
matched
There are sort of mini ports.
matched
They don't have the port facilities that they have at Bahrain, but there are other ports and
matched
And the command at Bahrain is sending out teams to sort of establish sort of makeshift logistics hubs.
matched
But, you know, if you put in Lincoln in Oman at a port in Oman for forty eight hours, you know, that's vulnerable too because they're all within range.
matched
So
matched
I think it's been I think you're absolutely correct, but we we have to also address that there's a geopolitical element where the Iranians are looking at this supercarrier led blockade and they're saying, Why should we negotiate with these guys if their blo if their blockade is gonna crack?
