In 25 years, not 15, we'll do what we always do and rent-to-own some clapped-out piece of crap from the English or the French. |

Aircraft carriers are this century's "battleships". Owning one is a firm claim to have arrived as a global power. |

Oh. Then we arrived some time in the 1950s, I believe. Whoopie. |
