Another "WTF" from the warfare section:

"Carriers of the Ford class will incorporate many new design features including
[...] stealthier features to help reduce radar profile"

Uh-huh... yes, that makes perfect sense of course... hiding an aircraft
carrier...

HUH???

How can you be stealthy about an *Aircraft Carrier*??

I mean, they're not particularly small, nor zipping around at Mach 1.2, are
they? And with a displacement of 100,000 tons their wake must be enormous, and
you're likely to hear them halfway across the globe under water. How in all
seven seas could one possibly *not* notice them?
