"If they had a navy half as good as ours though and could do undetected amphibious landings I would have no doubt they could take the United States!"
If frogs had pockets they'd carry guns and shoot snakes.

OK just one of many points that could be made. An undetected amphibious landing of any size is simply not possible on American soil, period. If you are talking about spec opps then it might almost be able to be considered an option apart from the fact they have no reliable nuclear submarines to do the trick (besides, the sonar nets and our patrols would pick them up if they did). But conventional invastions are impossible not to be detected long before they even leave their home ports! Besides, it'd be house to house fighting! Yet another reason against taking away our guns,

Violets are blue.
H-bombs go boom,

The only other Carrier which 'could' at a stretch be classed as a super carrier is the Kuzentov. Displacing about 67'000 tonnes. The Royal Navy has a 3 Carrier force made up of 3 'Invincible' Class Carriers. These are the Invincible, Illustrious and Ark Royal. They Displace 20'000 tonnes. They carry Sea Harriers FA.2, Seaking AEW.2 and SeaKing Mk.7 or something like that...

Really? Hmm... well my info was from two years ago... You know that beside our 14 nuclear carriers we still have the conventional carriers, Kitty Hawk, and Constellation... I know we have more but I dont know all the names... I actually dont like being on carriers... I feel to cramped... Give me a SSBN any day!
