The USS Abraham Lincoln: $13B Floating Airbase 🇺🇸

The Wartoons

The USS Abraham Lincoln positioned itself just 200 km off the Iranian coast — a massive show of naval power.  333 meters long. 90 aircraft onboard. 6,000 crew members. $13 billion to build. $6.5 million per day just to operate.  From the middle of the ocean, an armed jet can launch every 20 seconds.  The United States operates 11 aircraft carriers at the same time. The rest of the world combined? 10.  Think about what that means for global military power.  Comment “SERIES” if you want the next weapon breakdown tomorrow.
