sorry, that should be 0.3", not 0.4. I shall edit the post to fix that and the number of aircraft.

As for the planes, in the Gentlemens rules section it gives a formula of (LengthxBeam)/750 for number of aircraft.

Point 6: In the regard of simming a carrier that uses bulges, one should use the hull beam to calculate the number of planes (lenght x beam / 750 for imperial units) and not the beam over the bulges.

The bit about simming carries comes from the SS notes where for weight it is;

either 25tons per plane
or
number of planes squared

whichever is larger (breakpoint being 25ac)

For volume limited ships, e.g. CVEs

then it is

(LengthxBeam)/750

I thought that the area constraint applied to all carriers, not just CVE types.

She looks good, Canis. So good, in fact, that even Val thought so.

It does, but it is more likely that you will use the area constraint for CVEs than for the bigger carriers.

So I have a battleaxe for a mother-in-law and a dive-bomber for a wife?

We won't dig up the pictures of Japanese carriers vs. American planes ;-)

Of course not! After all this thread is about a USN carrier, not an IJN carrier. Any pictures of Japanese carriers vs. American planes should be posted in the appropriate threads!!

It would be more fun to see an American Carrier sinking a Japanese Carrier with gunfire and torpedoes....none of these aeroplanes mucking things up.

(Like historical Kaga 1931 verses historical Lexington 1931)

Nowhere near as humiliating as posting them in the tread of a new Japanese carrier!!

I'd like to know the names as well. Yorktown is one, but what about the other two?
