The cost of the CVN does not reside in the ship itself, but in paying FIVE THOUSAND CREWMEMBERS vice 120.

Think about that fr a minute, and then ask yourself again if it would be a better value. Subs cost MUCH less to operate, and fulfill much different missions. It is impossible to do some of our bread-and-butter sub missions with any other type of warship.
