Someone on a ship might have laughed at him or kicked him his first day when he asked about the restroom or the cafeteria. "You fool! This ship doesn't have a restroom! It's called the head! And there is no cafeteria! We eat in the galley!"  This in word / out word stuff builds comraderie, but it's not knowledge. Knowledge is knowing that if you're going to be out to sea for weeks, so there must be a place to go to the bathroom and a place to eat. Jargon is what do you call those places without getting laughed at.

Obviously the angled deck carrier with F-18s is going to get different missions than the smaller ship that carries F-35Bs. I said they're basically the same thing, and you're insisting that they're totally different things, but my point is that we have more than enough of each. We have 10 or 11 angled deck carriers. France, the UK, and Russia each have one. China has one or two.

LOL.  Your ignorance is sad, yet comical at the same time.

Oh, inform me, wise one, how many angled deck aircraft carriers should we have? 20? 30? When is it enough?

I've steered clear of engaging him in debate. It's obvious he has a character flaw in that he'll never admit his ignorance or that he's just flat out wrong. He'll equivocate, deflect, squirm, manipulate and downright change the subject in order to believe he's unburdened himself of an untenable argument.

I fully admit ignorance to stuff, but that stuff is irrelevant to the point that I'm trying to make.
Whatever you call those ships, I'm saying we have too many of them. How many aircraft carriers do you think we need? Why?
