Good issue with some interesting articles but WTF is Chubbybob?? hehehe... While it is nice to see new ships offered for consideration , I really think the AC carrying escort is not feasible. (I also disagree with the FW transport converted to a carrier) For all the reasons I give on the carrier section of my website: http://www.angelfire.com/games4/chubbybob/carriers.htm ----------------------------- I just can't bring myself to believe in these vessels as AC carriers with all the servicing, maintenance, repair, fuel and quarters that go with them. (For the same reason I don't believe in armed warships that carry them either.) When I thought about this problem a few years back I remembered that one of the earliest solutions to the air and sub threat in WWII prior to the mass production of light dedicated escort carriers, which incidentally were not that light or that small, was the auxiliary merchant escort. These had a one-time throw away aircraft that could be armed and launched but not recovered by landing on. At the time I found a brigade models mini that suited the bill perfectly.
