    One of my “favorite” stories of that is CVN-76. Russ Feingold was in Congress in the 90s saying “guys, the Navy doesn’t even want this thing, and even in a two theater war, we can get along fine with 5 or 6 supercarriers instead of 12.”

    It goes ahead anyway. Do you know what they named that monument to fiscal conservatism? The USS Ronald Reagan.
