Kennedy Kitty Hawk Class (conventional powered): USS Kitty Hawk They also cost about a million dollars a day, fully loaded and manned to run underway. Are you sure Canada really has the need for deployed power projection to support it's national interests? They seem to be able to use submarines effectively to scare fishermen... Thankyou for the information. To answer your question, yes. We should have at least 2 (one at the Pacific and one at the Atlantic Ocean) for transporting and patroling when we are asked by the U.N and NATO to help with some peace keeping etc. We like the U.S but we shouldn't be a burden to them for certain military needs. That's my opinion anyways. I also am interested in the F-20 Raptors-looks pretty impressive. BTW; What happened to the U.S.S Constellation?

Moo Let's see.......umm California real estate is beyond crazy....so since we were going to end up with too small of a house anyway, we got an older one that had a yard, and a little, little space between neighbors....not Nebraska space, but space by CA standards, so at least when I stretch my arms in the morning I don't break the neighbors window. The house was not in great shape, which is why we could afford it, and aside from cosmetics..paint, trim, carpet and tile that had to go in, I had to replace every electrical fixture and all but one water fixture (and that one will be gone soon). Then my wife wanted to expand the patio a bit and enclose the front porch/stoop whatever it is to make an entry way thingy with a security gate...then we just a had sunroom addition put on to increase the space a bit off the kitchen which required removal of two sliders and two windows, plus drywall work and refininshing old stucco so it doesn't rip the skin off. She wanted cabinets put in, and once that is done tile goes in and then there new countertops........ why am I remodelling...because sex on a semi-regular basis is good. Sleeping on a futon in the family room is bad.
