Aircraft carriers are WWII technology. Americans bleating about how they're the apex of sea combat are like the European great powers bleating about how the battleship was the apex of sea combat prior to WWII. Everyone sincerely believed it and just about everyone was wrong except Japan and America; America deleted Japan's navy and now we rule the world because of it.

Nothing stays the same. The idea that 80 years later the carrier would still be the absolute best bang for your buck; especially with the modern pace of tech; is retarded. If the Russians are scrapping their carriers that means you should think twice about your own. Russian military is blooded now in a way American military hasn't been since probably Vietnam, they probably know something we don't.
