6 Escort Carriers Commisioned
Today, chellis announced that it had just finished the last escort carrier out of a project to make 6, to provide better support to chellian units. Each carrier can carry 12 B-13's(water take-off, they stay in the bottom), 36 RAA Fighter aircraft, 18 P-3 Strike aircraft, and 6 MOHA Interceptor aircraft. Also, anyone who was watching the carrier being christened probably noticed 6 experimental Flying boats going over the crowd, dropping confetti in mass numbers.
The ships are:
CHN Waterlog
CHN Qurn
CHN Pinter
CHN Forday
CHN Nero
CHN Stalin(not because of Iosef)
18 Orions on a carrier?!?!

A p-3 is a chellian craft, not some weak american plane. do some looking if you want more info
We're interested in learning more about these escort carriers...smaller and much cheaper than a Nimitz, I assume?
Can you provide us with some technical details?
OOC: P-3 isn't "weak," in fact it's one of the best sub hunters around.
OOC:I was being IC
IC:Err...We cant disclose that information...uhh...ya
OOC again:I am a total idiot when it comes to navy...
OOC:
Orion is basically the only american plane which is anything other than shit.
OOC: Bah! Hogwash. You're convinced that every US plane is junk? Surely there have to be more exceptions.
OOC: Bah! Hogwash. You're convinced that every US plane is junk? Surely there have to be more exceptions.
OOC:
American builds a great jet, russia builds a far better one 2 years later.
Though now russias pretty much bankrupt.
OOC: okay last hijack post on my part...
That's the way everything works, though. Computers, cars, jets...
So we build a better one, then Russia builds a better one...on and on and on it goes.
72 aircraft? Thats pretty big for an escort carrier. Most can hold 20-40.
EDIT: Not that I am debating it. Just found it interesting.
IC: Hmm...no specs...interesting, very interesting. This *had* interested us since it would save quite a bit of coin...but we'll respect your security concerns.
