How long before the Chinese obtain the formula and undercut the US?

But but... if you stop the Carriers from needing oil then there won't be a need to send them to beat up third world countries for their oil! They'd make themselves useless!

Don't worry, they will find another reason. Red alert, blah, terrorists can be anywhere, so you can beat up third world countries without even declaring war.

Cool so when a carrier captian starts on a voyage he can uncheck the 'limited fuel' checkbox and still play on 100% realsim like a boss

Won't be able to afford it, the Tories will have already implemented seaweed tax into the statute books

Maybe we'll just fool ya and use our carriers as rescue and relief support platforms like we did after the Indonesian tsunami. I mean when we can find time from beating up third world countries.

Good one.And to think they told us to leave even though we where helping their citizens when they where not able to who is beating up who then? The only reason they did that was because
here was the US helping people and mostly muslims at that so it seems to me that the Indonesian government did not want its citizens to think of the US and think of being aided so they kicked us out.

As soon as they can steal the formula from us/reverse engineer it, bypass patents like they do with everything America makes. From movies to phones.

China loves breaking the rules. Then crying to the WTO about proposed duties or tarriffs we wish to add to their cheap lead laden poisoned crap they export to us. Despite their own tarriffs on US made goods.

Don't get me started on the manipulation of the RMB, no one in the world cares about.

(except the American worker)

Agreed...we feel similarly in the UK as well as a host of other countries I suspect.
