The Hill: Trump wants 'goddamned steam’ catapults on new aircraft carriers

For **** sakes people.

Any ship designed to be a platform for helo's and jets is a carrier.

I retired off a helo carrier in 1997. (USS INCHON)

If you want to get technical, almost any destroyer can be classified as a carrier if it can berth and launch a helo.
 
you are confusing the US Navy with the chinese navy...different countries. already post a pic of the chinese ACC for you.

Ahhh, I see.

So if I take a Volkswagon and want to call it a "Tank", that is acceptable.

BTW, most of those ships I showed are not even US ships. But I see you are consistent in refusing to comprehend or learn anything.

Goodbye.

your post is just plain goof ball.
 
Would you call the HMS Illustrious an air craft carrier?

This is a bit more into semantics, but yes.

It was designated as a "Light Aircraft Carrier", so in reality not really unlike an "Escort Carrier" of the last World War. And there was no confusing a ship like the USS Suwanee with the USS Essex.

I even have no problem with calling a ship like the USS Iwo Jima a "Carrier", but it has to be remembered that carrying aircraft is very much a secondary role for that ship, and it carries very few of them.

Carrier is not just a capability, it is also a role.
 
Well, I am pretty much quoting you, therefore...

You have to be consistent here buddy. Simply going "China and the US are different" does not qualify your claim.


Your post said goodbye type it like you mean it
