While reading the "Aircraft Carrier Obsolete" articles the following
questions occurred to me:

-Did the Nazis have aircraft carriers? Did they consider them?
-Did WW II England have them?
-Which nations today have them now? I seem to remember the Argentines 
  having one.


Also:

-What kind of N-warhead would it take to knock out a US task force given
 the current Soviet missile accuracy?
-What is the approximate radius of a task force?
-What would be the differences in attack using Conventional (which I think
 already has been adequately addressed) vs Nuclear weapons?
-If a Carrier is lost does a task force exist?

                      Just curios
