What happened to those 6 carriers I heard they were going to try to make sometime in 2008? (OK, we knew that the chances of them really getting all six are slim to none, but even 1 or 2 fixed-wing capable carriers would be a huge boost to their flexibility that's worth shooting for).

The submarines will carry the Bulava missile, despite recent test failures.

Well, guess they'll have to bull through with it.
