I know that ship all too well..... My father served on it. CVS 11 U.S.S. Intrepid.
Hell of a carrier. They eventually put an angled deck on it after Vietnam. She served in nam as one of the last active carriers of WW2, who durring the second world war was heavily damaged, but stayed afloat. She is a major survivor. ::Salute to the Fighting I.:: Great Post Flint. This one brought tears to my eyes. If anyone is in the NY area, and would like to see this mighty ship.. she is docked at Pier 11 in Manhatten. The radar cross section on that kind of ship would probably be HUGE. not that you can really hide a carrier anyway, but still.

I would buy it.
But my original statement was that the NAVY should make one. many benefits to having two decks. Surprised they never have made one. Or one deck in front and one in back....anyhoo...... BTW great pics of the handmade Enterprise. Looked like some seriously nice detail.... |

So she's the one Will Smith was playing golf off of in I Am Legend. Seems a bit insulting now that I know her history. Thanks for the lesson, Shippy.

USS JOSEPH COLTON would be cool. I actually thought of getting a second Flagg to do this.

It would be like machinegun fire and just steady flow till they run out of aircraft. For Gi joe side could you imagine launching 2 skystrikers at a time and having 4 sitting in the background on standby!
