I know plenty about carriers, I've been on four. I know the
equipment, I was in avionics (ECM) working on A6-E TRAMS and EA6B
Prowlers.
I'm not impressed.
Carriers are very good at some things, but have limited range, and
a host of other weaknesses. Besides, I live in Chicago, you'd never
get one near me.
