đŸ«¶Future will view these ships as the "Maginot Line" of the 21st century—expensive, static, and ultimately irrelevant.

The Final Act:

đŸ«¶Should the current tensions boil over, the Ford will not be the hammer. It will be the anvil. U.S. resources will be diverted to simply protecting this $13 billion target, ensuring a tactical nightmare for any commander involved.

✌The USS Gerald R. Ford is the ultimate symbol of an empire in denial. It is a $13 billion floating relic, plagued by internal decay and surrounded by an external reality it can no longer control. Every day it remains at sea is not a victory for American power, but a countdown to the inevitable realization that steel—no matter how expensive—cannot stop the tide of history.
