I have always been in favor of the JSF. Though I recently started to realize it will be outdated before it will c service (here in holland). It will be taken over by the unmanned aircrafts.

I really like one remark of this writer. The carrier will not be domed. But like at the end of the battleship will perform a support role. Like they did in Vietnam, as artillery. I do think hey has a good point there!

Everything can be divided in platforms and tools. If the carrier is the platform, the plane is the tool. When your talking about the plane (platform) the weapons will be the tools. So if the plane is removed and the UMAV will be used instead the tool of the platform (carrier) is gone. Euhm, yea, had to read it twice myself....
