That's the US Navy's massive carrier project that was cancelled following the design of the USAFs B-36(?). USS United States? (or something similar)

EDIT: IIRC it was cancelled as the USAF saw the design as a threat to it's independence, as it would have carried nuclear bombers which the air force thought would have negated the need for SAC. Again, IIRC, the design was cancelled as the USAF launched a series of long range flights and mock attacks using AAR equipment which convinced the US government that the USAF was a better strategic deterrent.

cool but i propose that there is an application process and a waiting period for the purchace of binkinis. kinda like hand guns in america. cause i think we would all agree that in the wrong hands both can be deadly. also we are banning speedos(sorry to all the brazilians out there).

Dixie is correct. This is the USS United States, laid down in the summer of 1949 and cancelled less than a week later. The reason it has no island is to maximize the number of big nuclear-capable bombers it could carry. It had four catapults, two at the front and two slanted to launch over the sides.

It was basically meant to be a weapon of nuclear war and nothing else.

For a second I forgot which thread I was in and wasn't sure if it was Bob...or Bob being referred to. Turns out Bob was with Bob so I suppose the answer was mute...or redundant...or something...

Well, maybe a little redundant - since i don't know if Bobo actually ever visits the BOB thread (i suspect not, or at least not this time since he didn't know i was working a turn (as posted on BOB)).

Good thing BOBO isn't in our 3x3 - we'd have Bob, BOB, and Bobo... [X(] [8|] [:D]

So where was the bridge? What bombers was it planning on carrying. They look like first generation jets. Of course, I realize this is an artists interpretation.

It was meant to carry about 20 of the new North American AJ Savage nuclear attack bomber, and about 50 or so McDonnell FH-1 Phantom fighters.

There was no bridge, obviously, but I have no idea where the ship was meant to be conned from.
