Typhon was a character in Greek mythology. Typhon, the son of Tartarus and Gaea, was a giant who dared to make war on heaven. For this offense, the angry Jupiter hurled him to earth and buried him beneath Mt. Etna.

Now however, Typhon has been re-born into the Typhon Class Aircraft Carrier. At this very moment, the very first Typhon Class Aircraft Carrier, CVN-27 Typhon, is being built at an undisclosed shipyard in Canan by some of the best shipbuilders in Canan.

Not for Sale

bump, comments are welcome!

Hawaii shall buy one.

Err, sorry, but they are not for sale. I forgot to add to the first post. But I take your intrest that I did something right, so thank you.

Bump.

Bump, c'mon I love constructive comments.

i dont know much about ship design, and im not that creative, so thats why my military consists of rw technology.

It's a little long, isn't it? Otherwise, good job, no picture?

another bump

Another Bump. If there are no complaints about my ship then I will send the very first ship, the RCS Typhon, out on its first maiden voyage to train in the Atlantic.

A little pre-mature I know, but....

Final bump for the night.

[Price needs to be brought up, 1.1 billion is a decent price for a nuclear-powered light/escort carrier, not a full-on CVN. I'm thinking the 5-7 billion range.]

((Whoops, SS is right, didn't see your price. Good Catch SS))

bump for more comments.

I already use that picture for my Thra-class Attack Aircraft Carrier, (but it's not like I can stop you from using that picture/design or anything). Your ship is too long, in my opinion....

Me!

Well, I will see what I can do about the length, since you are the second person to say so. About the picture, it is really hard to find good pictures nowadays, but even so its not like its exclusive to a single person.

Suggestion: I would bring your carrier's length down to about 1,100 ft....1200 at max.....and you're right, the picture doesn't belong to me, so there's nothing I can do to stop you from using it.....

Me!

Possibly shorten it. Big naval vessels make big naval targets. Otherwise its a fine ship. keep up the good work.

Shorten it more? I have shortened it considerably from what it was to begin with. What length would you say would be a good length for a carrier?
