You gotta wonder if the Chinese weren’t, at least in part, just trying to screw with our National Reconaissance Office.

“Senator, the People’s Liberation Army Navy has opened up a dangerous Aircraft Carriers on Small Landlocked Lakes Gap. Clearly, we need several billion dollars to construct aircraft carriers in Lincoln, Nebraska and Oklahoma City.”

They wouldn’t vanish; they’d simply be stuck on the Dan Ryan endlessly. :eek:
