Since my dad was in the Navy and my dad was all about correcting the JOES problems in their uniforms and rank. He was an Aviation Electronics Technician in the early 60's. I kinda thought of my dad as Cutter, a farmboy from Kansas going to the water to serve. Even tho he had served all 3 years of service on Naval bases.
So to increase my navy forces. I used Tripwire (83) as a Navy AO1, an Aviation Ordnanceman Petty Officer 1st Class, because his rank looked Navy and the job was close enough. He would be my support crew for the Skystrikers, because he looked like he belonged on the flight deck with his outfit. Also the job made him responsible for handling, stowing, issuing and loading of munitions and small arms. So I made him in charge of the Armory at the base. That gave him a job to do since Light Foot was my minesweeper. The 25th version fixed the rank for Army, Tho it looks like it is from WWII. The repaint Tripwire thats in camo-gear can be my navy guy just paint his helmet and vest red. AO1 Mega-zinger, a witty remark for a guy who takes care of the magazines, the compartment of where ordinance is stored onboard ships.

That's cool I always liked to think of Spirit as more of a badass. But Hawks' was the most pleasant surprise. Snake-Eyes is Green Beret too according to those are you going to include that? If Kamakura is then Snake-Eyes should be. Iceberg is a Ranger in those with SBS training as well. Your using that Super Trooper as well right. His is almost too much, but that's all there is on him.
I haven't read Iceberg's training. I'll have to check it out. As for Super Trooper - I'll probably stick a little closer to the U.S. File card, but I think there are elements from the AFBF that can be adapted for Lt. De Niro.

I think there's a U.S.S. Eisenhower, although he was the President too. There's a U.S.S. Ranger - it's named after the Rangers at Normandy I believe. I think there have been a few vessels named after Army guys. U.S.S. Washington maybe?

Isn't there also a Ronald Reagan (never served, right?) and George Bush (Air Force, right?)? Found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ed_States_Navy So guess question needs to be asked as: Was there any Carriers named for non-president, non-naval officers?

The Carriers were more named for their time as President.

It's a great question. Can anybody who has the individual issues answer this one? Surely there had to be some "Battle Files" printed in the U.S. Marvel run of the comic. Are those online anywhere?

The first USS Ranger dates to the Revolutionary War and was one of John Paul Jones' commands. Obviously it was not a carrier, but of the ten US ships to bear the name Ranger two have been carriers: CV-4 & CV-61
