[QUOTE]Originally posted by David Templar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Toadkiller: [qb]The (current day) big-E is pretty darn old for something subjected to daily use on the sea. It is amazing the amount of work that is required to keep a ship going - and someday they just wear out....[/qb][/QUOTE]Why do you think they canned the Iowas? Those things were falling apart on the job, and people still wanted to squeeze a few more years out of them. I think the Navy's making a big mistake replacing the Tomcats with something like the Super Hornet. For one thing, the Super Hornets sucks. It's a flying bell and whistle basket that can't even out fly its grandfather, the F/A-18. I think the Navy's going a bit too far with standardrized and jack-of-all-trade designs. Maybe the JSF will do better, but I'm not holding my breath. [/QB][/QUOTE]
