No request for new supercarrier
The Senate plans to fund another nuclear powered carrier at 1.9 billion dollars while debating the kind of aircraft to equip it. Senator Gary Hart proposed canceling the F18 program to save 12 to 15 billion through the 1980s, arguing large carriers push costly ships and lock the Navy into a costly build. Hart opposed big carriers but voted for one more ship until VTOL jets emerge in the 1990s. He noted the F18 cost about 25.4 million per plane, higher than the F14 Tomcat. The administration opposes a smaller ship but no funds for the supercarrier were deleted. Senator Henry M. Jackson criticized Carter's Soviet policies as confused.
