CVV

[TimothyC]

If i could get you to make a "special variant" CVS version with SQS-53 sonar I would appriciate it. Then I could use her as my new build CVS in my AU timeline I am working on. The sonar would be used in conjunction with an ASW information Center....A more advanced version of what would have been found on the Essex class ASW refits of the 1960's. Her air wing would consist of twelve SH-3 or SH-60F, ten S-3 Vikings, twp E-2C Hawkeye, and twelve F-18 fighters....the air wing depends on the time frame

I'll see what I can do over the next few weeks following finals next week.

You're right, ace, I went on a Fool's Errand there. I ought to have refreshed my knowledge of these vessels, which, alas, I did only afterwards. However, I'm satisfied that you agree that the number sequence is wrong though, since, with Carter being defeated in 1980, by Ronald Reagan, a maximum of only two might have been envisaged -that is, if Carter and his SecDef, Harold Brown and SecNav Edward Hidalgo could've managed to push them through a very skeptical and recalcitrant Congress.

Thanks in advance....

Thats way better than any of my attempts that I've been trying for the past 12 months.

made the beforementioned fixes and fixed the airwing.

consider this v1, please comment if you see any flaws or problems in the drawing.
of course, her side would be littered with openings and liferafts, but I decided to leave them off to show her lines and because I don't know where they could be (I can estimate based on other ships, but that is just an as bad representation as to leave them of, IMO)

For Side & Flight-Deck details (railing, opening & liferafts)
You can "reasonably" help you with some others US Carrier drawing, such as:


or the USS-Nimitz

I hate it when people not even read what they quote
I CHOSE NOT TO COPY OTHER SHIPS ON PURPOSE!

I like what I am seeing so far..I thank you for not just copying other ships...

He didn't say you should. He said you could use other ships to guestimate where many of the details should go.
And I agree with him, because rigth now the ship looks half-finished.

The CVV was intended to operate V/STOL aircraft. How about some additional V/SOL aircraft in the ship drawing?

What about the Convair 200 V/STOL fighter?



Rockwell XFV-12?



I wonder if the CVVs would have been named for famous naval battles. USS Philippine Sea? USS Leyte Gulf?
