Hey guys,
You know how it's been said that the Flagg is WAY too small to be to scale. Well check this out: Amphibious assault ship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Maybe the Flagg was just WAY ahead of it's time. This type of ship makes perfect sense for the Joes. Check it out. It's a Navy vessel, but it's primarily tasked to the Marines, which seemed to me like how the Flagg was used in the cartoon: A Navy vessel tasked to the Joes.

Exactly. I really could see Duke coming from a farming family.
Somewhere where the attitude "the folks in charge don't know how to do nothing" is common, where folks think "every good boss needs a supervisor that really knows how things go around here and really runs the place". I'm sure Duke was smart and athletic enough to earn a college scholarship and become an officer if he so desired but something must have shaped his attitudes as an impressionable young man. |

Well, the new USS New York is the newest vessel of this type. It has a crew of like 350 and it carries 700 Marines. That would more than accomodate the Joes. It can't launch jets, but it can deal with Harriers, Ospreys, and helicopters.

That's definately more managable then the the Flagg.
I just noticed, on the first page. Oliver was the 1st to respond to this thread and Tank was the 2nd.

Yep, you can count on the Southerners. We've been here from the begining. And unless they ban me for life, I'll be here.

This thread is the heart & soul of the tank. Without it, the site would wither, crumble and scatter with the wind. Or maybe it just wouldn't be as fun.
