"Remember when you vote in November that President Kerry will be cutting defense dollars where he can because he believes in a lighter, more maneuverable force. The Navy is already getting prepared by naming a class of Aircraft Carriers after him. This is the prototype". Navy Chief Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nick Tselepides 1 Posted May 19, 2004 That was fumy, Chief. Listen: if you go back to serve the USN. there won't be much work to do and lots of fresh air--no below decks, no engine shop, no bunks, no cat noise.... Economize on film too, as there will only one a/c to photograph for us in these forums. I would not mind serving on board one of these with you in company.... There is a good side to everything after all. And as this would cost the taxpayer less, we'd spend the extra money on wine, women, and song.... Good inspiration, Pete. Keep it up.

navychief 1 Posted May 19, 2004 Yeah, A short deck like this might make JATO bottles somewhat of a necessity, eh? Landings? Well, I guess it's time to design "throw away" aircraft. NC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chaingun 0 Posted May 20, 2004 Just think how fast you could deploy the whole carrier. Strap that bad boy down and light the fires, guaranteed to leave a wake. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
