F-111 bombers flying from carriers ?

Next time, we should just bomb Paris and get it over with.

Indeed, why not bomb the all rest of the world and make the only surviving
continent (the northern part of course..) the Americas a true paradise on
earth?

(perhaps you should do something about those half-french north of the border
also, and while you're at it: get rid of the jews, ******s, homos,
criminals, disabled, atheist, and all people of mixed races too - that would
leave a couple of hundred people on earth - that would keep the peace for a
week or two, one should think)

Let's talk hypothetically here. What if, at some point late in the
cold war the United States decided to stage a " Doolittle " type raid
on some country by having a small number of F-111 bombers take off
from a giant Nimitz class carrier.

We actually did stage such a raid, on Libya, but the 111s flew from
Britain--west into the Atlantic, down the Bay of Biscay, hang a left
at Gibraltar, and east into the Med.

The 111s were tucked into the radar shadow of the tankers, one under
each wing, in hopes that French and Spanish radar operators wouldn't
see them for the big birds.
