I just noticed the paratroopers. Trying to drop onto a burning aircraft carrier. With chutes that can’t be steered. In the middle of active air combat.
Hey, if one of them lands on the carrier and manages to hide near one of the ammo boxes they can just keep throwing more and more TNT charges BF42 style until the whole thing sinks!
The rest of the paratroopers will be bringing in water. Or the coast guard rescue boats.
This is by far the best NCD post I’ve seen. It just keeps giving back.
Why is there a giant turreted cannon on the flight deck?
Where the hell would you put it?
Underside.
How else is a carrier going to sink a battleship, dummy?
Ramming in head on, full throttle!
“The front quarter mile of our flight deck will blot out the sun!”
“Then we’ll sink in the shade.”
Cause it wouldn’t work before the deck, duh
A couple of our early carriers did have cruiser 8-inch gun turrets. I think Lexington still had hers when she was sunk but yeah they didn’t do that again.
And sized like a kiddie pool.
It’s a cope cage tank

They somehow managed to put an after burner on a 117.
Better resolution for easier mockery:
*Gun not included
I cherish the overhanging flight deck that, by itself, is 1/3 the length of the keel. It’s like an overbite. The front teeth of 'ol 65 docks an an hour before the rest of her does.
Well done haha
All its missing is an Evangelion angel or Godzilla and King Kong springboarding off of it and breaking its keel in half in the process.
EDIT: Also, is that… a civilian helicopter, or maybe a Kiowa like dropping a bomb on the aft of the carrier?
Are we not going to talk about the, what, 17" dual turret in front of the elevator?
All ships need more dakka.
The real deal’s only 17mm.
17" CIWS
Same fire rate.
Edit: Okay, imma do some math. Let’s be generous and use a 16" gun because I couldn’t find a modern 17" gun.
At 1,225 kg and 75 rounds/second that’s 91,875 kg or almost 92 tons of projectiles going down range.
At 762 m/s for the AP projectile that would be 7.001 × 10^7 N of force, or 77.5 Boeing 747s at full thrust.
That ship might roll a tad.
Waitaminute…it has sound and lights?! VID VID VID
Probably should’ve planned better earlier. You don’t even need a crystal ball for that.
