@Fandom_Junkie

it's not actually a bomber prototype, again just a testbed

Very nice

@HandyJack I prefer RISK but I will play chess

anyone else wish that CV-6 AKA the USS Enterprise was saved and turned into a museum ship instead of being scrapped?

Yes

She did so much

it would have been awesome to be on the most battle tested and decorated ship in US navy history

her track record is awesome to say the least

the amount of capital and non capital ships she took down

while taking part in like every major operation and engagement in the pacific

being the only operational capital ship we had in the pacific at one point

survived heavy damage nearly sinking only to pull through at least 3 times

being the only ship in her class to survive the war

the Enterprise was a badass ship

shame that she got scrapped

Still a better fate than getting nuked

yeah RIP prinz eugen and all the other ships in that test

didn't those ships get nuked twice or something?

Some did

damn

i also think ships like KMS Bismarck,HMS Warspite,HMS Hood,USS Laffy were badass

Alot of ships were nuked durikg hydrogen bomb testings, then some survived a few of the tests they were subjugated to, then purposefully shot afterwards

USS Laffy (a destroyer) and her crew took on multiple enemy ships including the battleship IJN Hiei and put up a hell of a fight

also the ships shouldn't have been nuked

Yeah

they should have been preserved cause they're a part of history

imagine being on a destroyer and taking on a battleship along with a few cruisers alone with no support

at night too

Taffy 3

But oh well, no one at the time really seen it important enough to preserve most of the shit from ww2, best we can do is build replica's

yeah it kinda sucks

i would be livid if someone was stupid enough to destroy the USS Constitution

History is rarely thought of at the moment it happens, it usually is taken note of decades after it happens

that ship is almost as old as the US itself

yeah

Its why so many P-51's and Sherman tanks qere scrapped afted they became redundant

the USS Constitution is the only wind and sail Warship still afloat
