$5 billion carrier? We wish. Try $13 billion. We're never going to put carriers in the South China Sea in a shooting war.

I was basing the cost on the last couple that were commissioned, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_George_H.W._Bush.

But agree with your point, the calculus only gets worse as more eggs are put in the basket.
