    Here is what happened. In 1945 she was hit by a Japanese bomb, which killed 800 of her crew. She was the most damaged Essex-class ship to survive the war.

    madcat and kurt are right not an accedent. this is what you get when we wage war on the japanese in 1941. now this would not happen A: the japanese air force has been cut to a 4th of what it was back then B: An aircraft carriers radar would see an aircraft miles out and the thy would scramble jets to intercept. not hating on you work just the name. good job on the aircraft carrier. vote up from me.

    just saying put a protective layer of cnct for dest, 3 layers will completely stop it 50% of the time and 1 layer with everything else will minimize damage from 25%to 45%-think about that for a second

    i can do that amount of damage to your ship with 1 well placed PIXEL of dest that made it to the place with the ton of fireworks and ignited then and the thermite then broke a HUGE hole in it................
