| #6 CHINA + JAPAN are both considering changing their national strategies towards potent international mil postures. Both need experience wid LARGE-SCALE CARRIER OPERATIONS = OTH FORCE PROJECTION. Chin and even INDIAN NETTERS have recently opined the possibility of their countries buying a older Cold War Carrier from the USA - KITTY HAWK was named as a preferred realistic option, ostensibly because of its age + espec USDOD-Navy resistance = fear of how foreign states may use their advanced warship techs, followed in lessor by ENTERPRISE + original NIMITZ. The KITTY was also opined as possib being locally converted to a NUKIE or other powered hybrid, TO REDUCE THE LEARNING/OPERATING CURVE LEAD TIME. Collectively, these Netters believe it will likely take CHINA, etc. Year 2050 + beyond to catch up wid the USN on heavy carrier technologies. |

| #5 What the hell would the Japanese do with the Kitty hawk, transport Toyotas? We neutered them so well they won't fight anywhere except in the global marketplace. |
