AND just cancel the USAF..give the ground Nuke forces to the Army, and the USN can keep the ones at sea..12,000 foot runways are so 20th century vs USSR...And add 3-4 nuke CVs..

During Gulf War 2, I'd drive the carrier to the east end of the box in anticipation of west winds to launch airstrikes. If I timed it right, we'd be about ten miles from the pop box where DDG's, CG's, and the occasional submarine would launch Tomahawks. Pretty impressive in late evening.
