Maybe you'll be there in a few million years.  :)

What possible use could Europe have for such a navy? Invade Canada?  :lol

The Middle East, Africa... All the interesting places are within driving distance. In a pinch I suppose we could walk to China.

Lend us a carrier for several weeks and we'll find a very good use for it  :bolt:



BTW this list is missing one new shiny carrier:

From the look of it (Ukraine) you'll be able to test your 'toys' again soon enough.

How? By sailing carriers through the Bosporos? Don't think so. Any military intervention will be from land based aircraft.

The planes have long enough legs to operate from the medierranean.

We own the government (although I think they'd like us to conveniently forget that at times); what's "theirs" is truly "ours".

Then why not fly them from Greece, Turkey, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania or Bulgaria?

You are sooooooooo optimistic  :rofl

You know, I called them toys not because of what can they do but because how they are used :bolt:

The problem is actually Dardanelles, US aircraft carriers are not allowed to pass through and Russians can (as they operate "Heavy Aircraft Carrying Cruiser" and Black Sea power)
