Doesn't this historically lead to mutinies? Are we going to have a Platinum Age of Piracy with aircraft carriers?

"Runaway carrier group turns into mercenary unit" used to be my favorite cyberpunk scenario for when the US collapses, but if this war has shown us anything, it's what a logistical nightmare it is to actually deploy a carrier for extended amounts of time.

Probably gets easier when the carrier population gets cut by ~80%. A nuclear aircraft carrier would be a nice place for a small floating city.

US soldiers are way to cucked for that, IMO.
