Tuberville failed to mention that he’s personally prevented hundreds of officers from being promoted because he disagrees with a 2022 Pentagon policy.

    The US has 11 out of 22.

    This is only a partial picture.

    The US has 11 supercarrier groups that individually rival the power of most nation’s entire airforces. These are unrivaled by anything else in the world.

    The US additionally has 9 America and Wasp class amphibious assault ships that have an airwing capability that rivals most other nations’ carrier groups. The Navy plans for this force to eventually be made up of 11 America class ships.

    So the reality is that the US’ secondary aircraft carrier capability rivals that of the rest of the world combined. The total power disparity of the combined supercarrier and amphibious assault fleet is mind boggling.

      What’s also mind boggling is the USAF F-15 has zero combat losses and is the OLD air superiority fighter. The USAF can start operating anywhere in the world with a force larger than most other air forces in < 72 hours.
