Because it is me you are dealing with, you should apologize for not being insulting enough! :D

How about if I insult you by refusing to apologize for not insulting you? [SIZE=1]Take that and stuff it in yer pipe and smoke it! :P[/SIZE]

The Japanese tourist who shot that photo subsequently disappeared, rumored to have been kicked out of an airship somewhere near Resolute.

"No Japanese tourists were hurt in the creation of this film." :)
Good thing it wasn't Manzo, or you would have lost that airship somewhere near Resolute. :D


Sketchy reports include the description of a female reporter with prominent handbag. :o

I said the carriers were fairly predictable and wise and by carriers I meant the surface ones not the undersea ones. I think my quote was preaty clear when I went on to comment about the sub right after.......

As for the subs I tend to agree, not a serious design, simply smoke and mirrors.

Clearly two separate coments about two seperate types...

Anyway I'm not going to comment any further on the design, I'm not going to contribute to a thread thats turning into a flame war.

Well, he could pay for it, he just wouldn't be able to afford anything else for a year or so.

That is being annoying, not insulting. :D

She'd probably be sueing Canada for the use of unsafe airships. :)

More likely the tourist in question was wearing a red shirt. :D

Oh, it was clear but I just had to say it since the submarine design is also a carrier design. :D

Well, the only flames I have seen so far are in that picture of Desertfox. :D

Even if you could afford it, there is no way that it can work in the 1930s or 1940s. Maybe it is possible with today's technology, but not back then.

And he could use it right away. No need to wait for 2 years. :)

Regardless, top Canadian scientists have developed a much better platform for the Submarine/Aircraft situation....

Hmmm... That looks like the thing I saw in a program on NGC or DC (not sure which of the two) of which they said that it could never go as deep as indicated due to the shape of the hull. :)

Not a 1938 ship but the two large carriers that are currently under construction. Messed around a bit with a few linedrawings to get this.

The superstructure is awfully large and lacking FC directors.

Surprised you haven't gone with something that looks like Shokaku or Taiho instead of Essex.

Well, large pieces of Taiho are pasted on it. I think that there is more Taiho in the picture than Essex. FC is the same as on the Taiho picture.

Will see about the superstructure.

Perhaps moving two of those Island mounts to the bow would allow you to place two FC dirrectors on the Island.

That is not easy when you already have stuff on the bow (and the stern as well).. :-/

Messed around with it a bit more...

I'm suprised Japan isn't using indigenous weapons and Fire Control equipment, and instead somehow aquiring American... (:

I'd also say it seems a bit early for deck-edge lifts, especially in a navy that historically never pursued the concept, especially on what essentially appears to be a close-hangared ship on the British/Taiho models.
