      View File Forrestal class aircraft carrier
      FORRESTAL class US NAVY aircraft carrier
      ========================================
      The model depicts a ship circa 1990.
      Of course, each aircraft carrier looks a little different,
      but this is more or less what the USS Saratoga (CVA-60) and USS Independence (CVA-62)
      looked like during Operation Desert Storm.
      Model was tested in ODS30 addon and SF2 NA.
      INSTALLATION
      ========================================
      Just copy files from [C O P Y   T O   G A M E   F O L D E R]
      to your game folder ;-)
      In [Extras] folder you can find new ship smoke emitter.
      ========================================
      The 3d model, game files and skins are mine.
      Parking spots done by allenjb42.
      Many thanks to the ODS30 team for their help in testing this ship.

      @Gepard I was wondering if you could pick this old documentary apart? I am sure there have to be mistakes given when it was made.

      USS Bon Homme Richard is on fire in San Diego after an explosion aboard. The LHD assault ship was in for maintenance when a "High Order Detonation" was reported inside the ship's dock bay and hanger. There was only a duty section of sailors aboard at the time. The fire is horrendous, made even worse by the fact that the ship is fully exposed...hatches open, vents open....no sailors on board to set Zebra or go to General Quarters. Fire scanner calls the ship "fully involved"

      As of this moment, SDFD has ordered all assets to evacuate the pier next to the ship fearing further explosions.
