>If warfare suddenly disappeared, you’ve got these mobile bases you can anchor off the coast of a disaster zone with massive capabilities for logistics, a nuclear power plant, water purifier, hospital, machine shops, etc. Etc.

I wasn't on a supercarrier but I did render humanitarian aid in Indonesia from an LHD. This is absolutely one of the missions these ships are capable of.

Yes I worded that poorly. Because even today a lot of these ships undertake these kinds of missions.

But imagine if you could retool these ships with a singular primary goal of disaster relief. Imagine if every carrier group was some internationally funded disaster response team.

What would the world be like if the entire military might of the major world powers was repurposed to providing aid and building infrastructure?
