Re: Wrong math

" that puts some pressure on the extortionists from BAE to come up with a more reasonable quote to weld 6 anchors to the deck for arrester wires (the present quote is probably the highest ever quote for 6 welding jobs in the history of human engineering)."

That's a pretty good demonstration that you don't have a clue what is involved in fitting arrester gear. You also seem to have forgotten the need for catapults. "Cats and Traps" is the clue. And then there's the steam generators needed for the catapults or if using electric catapults the generators needed to power the catapults. There isn't of course room to have all this gear on the carriers.
