to correct apdaf: if you can launch an C-130 from an aircraft carrier (you can, from one of this size) an A-10 should be possible, especially with some modifications. if it would be practical is another story, and I would rather see something like A-6 intruders or A-7 corsair II's for that role......

btw, heuhen, I think your sea sparrow launchers are the wrong way around, your anchors look small and pretty close to the waterline and the amount of search radars and the lack of directors for the NSSM and the guns makes me wonder.... and I would add some extra rudders, these look kinda small. other then that nice work, not an good looking ship but it seems to work, although without sponsons your flight deck is gonna be quite narrow.

A-10's are from the late 70's so I would think the early 80's.
