#1 We should probably let Israel use Kitty Hawk for a year or two first.

#2 HMMMM, HMMMM, so IOW OWG-NWO STARFLEET COMMAND'S FIRST "STARSHIP" twas actually a sea-going, former USN Aircraft Carrier, AND NOT THE USS ENTERPRISE???

That sound you're hearing are the loud cries of "HERESY, HERESY, WE SAY!" from Milyuhns and Zilyuhns and Rilyuhns of "STAR TREK" Series' Fans.

#3 This is a good idea in concept, but one little phrase makes it reeeeeally difficult in practice..."eight 1200-PSI boilers". The US Navy purged the 1200-PSI plant from the entire surface fleet almost a generation ago, for damn good reason. During my own naval service in the mid 1970's, my ship was often referred to as "Building 7" for its incapacitating propulsion-system casualties.

#4 Japan can't own a carrier.

Just paint it pink and rename it the Hello Kitty (groan). No one could ever accuse it of being a weapon of military aggression and keep a straight face.
