Ahh, but you forget the hidden costs:

What's the use of having an aircraft carrier without any aircraft?

Of course, if we have those, then it'll be the 68kMLANAF. Planes to scout targets, the carrier to get us there and then we storm 'em with the ground troops. Are there carrier planes that can deploy paratroopers? =D (For inland missions, see.)

But it would be oh so cool telling the neighbors and kids at school that you own an aircraft carrier.
