 The expected scenario was 100s of tactical nukes.  The small boys in
our CV-BG would be giving themselves up not to keep the carrier alive,
but to keep the carrier alive long enough to get the planes off the deck
with their retaliatory nukes.

Funny thing was the Day After was on last night.

Great shots of SAC and USN forces doing their drills for a Nuclear
conflict. One set of shots showed phoenix missiles being assembled and
rolled out to the waiting Tomcats. One weapon specifically designed to
aid in that potential nuclear conflict. Shoot the Bears and Backfires
before they shoot the carrier.
