Understand that Yip, but the USN doesn't have anything else for CAP. So I am asking what the capabilities of the 18 are as a dogfighter in the event that they would have to use it in this role.It is a F/A-18, it is an attack airplane
Right, forget about the attack role, the only reason for an airplane to fly is to be a dog-fighter. It replaced the A-7 and F-4, it is an attack airplane. It has far as I know only a few aerial victories as a fighter and those came at missile engage range, but it is very good a blowing things up. Reference the USMC vs ISIS BTW Fighters are not a threat to an aircraft carrier, submarines areYip has no idea what he's talking about. The F-16 could just as easily be given F/A-16.

ALCM's launched from multi-role aircraft are in fact a huge threat to any naval vessel.BTW Fighters are not a threat to an aircraft carrier, submarines are
Marines are flying off the boats doing the same missionUSN 18's have been bringing the hate to ISIS. The F-4 was as much if not more of an attack airplane as it was a fighter.
Subs can launch the same weapons,ALCM's launched from multi-role aircraft are in fact a huge threat to any naval vessel.
Thank you sir. I hope that others chirp in.As a point defense fighter, the AESA equipped Superhornet is the best thing out there that isn't an F-22. It just needs about 20% more thrust.
