On April 18, 1942, 80 men and 16 B-25 Mitchell medium bombers set off on what some said was an impossible mission, to change the course of World War II. The actions of these 80 volunteers, led by Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle, were instrumental in shifting momentum in the Pacific theater and setting the stage for victory at the Battle of Midway.
These men, dubbed the Doolittle Raiders, launched 16 B-25s off the flight deck of the USS Hornet.

They have a new plane coming in the mid 2020's called the B-21 Raider

I think it would be neat if history repeated itself and the USAF and USN put 16 of these babies on the USS Ford
for a strike into the homeland of anyone that would attack us first.
Probably would be too late, uh?
