Have US and Royal Navy aircraft carriers just been rendered obsolete?

Summary

72% Informative

A Quicksink bomb was used recently to sink a retired US big-deck amphibious vessel, a ship that would be regarded as an aircraft carrier in most navies.

It is a piece of seeker technology added to a smartbomb guidance kit, the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) It is not intended for attacking aircraft carriers, or indeed any warships with serious air defences.

There are in all truth many grounds on which to criticise Britain ’s aircraft carriers: most obviously that they don’t have catapults.

This means that they can only operate the cripplingly expensive F-35B jump jet.

The extra expense and the fact that it is our only modern, fifth -generation fighter jet means that our carriers don't usually have any planes at all, and we have never been able to equip one with more than eight jets.
