Unless the plan is for an amphibious landing of killer robots (which I guess could very well be the case) I don't see any use for such an anachronistic pile of metal -- other than to create jobs in key districts.

Wouldn't we rather see that money go to rebuilding bridges and other parts of our dilapidated infrastructure?
