The soon to be joining the fleet Ford class aircraft carrier has more firepower than any other ship afloat - other than its predecessor Nimitz class carriers, which itself were unsurpassed in ability to deliver firepower to practically any spot on the planet.

Trump thinks total numbers tell the story? Try this one. A flight of four Hornets could take out a WWII carrier task force from over the horizon without the task force knowing what hit them until after the missiles started hitting. Same with the WWII era planes aloft. The first sign that they saw something wrong was when the planes started dropping out of the sky as the Hornets engaged from other the horizon and then closed with guns at supersonic speed. Fish in a barrel.

This kind of thing was the stuff of movies - a modern carrier could have changed course of history at Pearl Harbor.
