It is every Corsair's responsibility to die a beautiful death in defense of Crete, regardless of how OORP or how capwhoring the opposition is. Launch your fighter, joust the battlecruisers and die a beautiful death. Then, drink it down in the bar.
Quote:The German battleship Bismarck is one of the most famous warships of the Second World War. The lead ship of her class, she was named after the 19th-century German chancellor Otto von Bismarck. Bismarck's fame came from the Battle of the Denmark Strait in May 1941 (in which the battlecruiser HMS Hood, flagship and pride of the British Royal Navy, was sunk), from Churchill's subsequent order to "Sink the Bismarck" [1], and from the relentless pursuit by the Royal Navy that ended with her loss only three days later.
For Liberty Crusier- Midway
Quote:The carriers of the Midway class, displacing more than 67,000 tons fully loaded, carried a crew of 4,500 and up to 70 aircraft. These 1,000-foot-long warships were once the largest carriers afloat, though they had a displacement about two-thirds that of contemporary nuclear-powered flattops. When operating at sea the ships were refueled every three days, burning approximately 100,000 gallons of oil a day. When first built, the USS Midway's bow was open to the sea, and was enclosed in 1957 as part of a major overhaul.
Liberty Carier- Nimitz
Quote:The NIMITZ-class carriers are a floating airport, capable of launching as many as four aircraft a minute. The ship's four catapults and four arresting gear engines enable her to launch and recover aircraft rapidly and simultaneously. The ships carry seven different types of aircraft with a total complement of more than 80 planes. During flight operations, the flight deck of 4.5 acres is a scene of intense activity, with crew, aircraft and other equipment functioning as a well-rehearsed and carefully choreographed team to ensure both efficiency and safety. Four aircraft elevators, each the size of two average city lots, bring the aircraft to the flight deck from the hangars below. Small tractors spot the planes on the flight deck.
Battlecrusier- Knox
Quote:The Knox-class frigates, all of which have been retired, fulfilled a Protection of Shipping (POS) mission as Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) combatants for amphibious expeditionary forces, underway replenishment groups and merchant convoys. The Knox-class frigates initially formed the backbone of the Innovative Concept Reserve Training Program. Under this program, the last eight ships remaining in service were designated Type II Reserve Training Frigates [FFT], while 32 other frigates were deactivated and designated Type III ships. The Type III ships can be completely reactivated in 180 days. Each of the eight Reserve Training Frigates ship had its own reserve crew, and was also assigned four "nucleus crews" which would man the 32 Type III ships. The Reserve Training Frigates ships were to be homeported in New York, Mobile and Ingleside Texas. The Reserve Training Frigates were all inactivated in 1994, and some of them have been disposed of through the Security Assistance Program (SAP) foreign military sale program. Replacing the Knox-class frigates in this role, by the year 2000, seven of the 10 FFG-7 Oliver Hazard Perry frigates in the Naval Reserve Fleet will be modernized to the Flight III baseline. These ships fulfill an important role in reducing the Active force's operational and personnel tempo by responding to contingencies such as the Haitian embargo, counter-narcotics operations, and overseas deployments, such as Carat 96 in the Western Pacific.
We could name Repair ship Vulcan
Quote:The Vulcan class repair ship is capable of providing battle damage repair, maintenance and logistics support to ships assigned, at anchor or moored to a pier, in a wartime environment. These older ships are all of World War II vintage. They were funded under 1939 and 1940 shipbuilding programs spearheaded by Congressman Carl Vinson. These ships can simultaneously repair a large number of ship systems and subsystems and can be forward deployed in time of conflict.
How about Midway class for the carrier? Wikipedia sez:
Quote:This class was one of the longest lived carrier designs in history. First commissioned in late 1945, the lead ship of the class, USS Midway was not decommissioned until 1992, shortly after seeing service in the Gulf War. Six were planned; 3 were built.
Sounds more Liberty-ish, too.
EDIT: And how about Ticonderoga for the Liberty Cruiser? For the curious, that's the modern guided missile cruiser class that makes up...well, as far as I know, the entire cruiser force of the USN.
Just saw this thread... Well, I haven't seen the ships in game but the Kusari bomber was meant to be called "Wyvern". The name may originate from the European region, but it refers to a dragon. The BH bomber would be named something like "Mako" or "Thresher". Anywho, the names where submitted with the models (I think), they just must not have been implemented.
You could just use the ititials, IE, you facing SF, you know its Bret, so referr to it by ship, like LF is Light Fighter, and so on.
Itrs what us Mandalorians do XD
If houses become problem, use their tag, IE, KU is Kusari, so a Kusari Gunboat call be called a KUGB. I used to nickname my Kusari Destroyer Kude, for KU DE.
