I don't know what you're implying...

Sure you don't

I call the head of the liquor department when the thread takes over new zeland.

We would have to share this one

Somehow I think eiter one of you heading that department would be a bad idea. I propose Mynok.

Mike could be Secretary of Logistics.

Today's Odd Ship contest (for Threadsters only). No looking it up!

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.

yep dixie is right. they did lay the kiel if i remember but that was about it. interesting how it had no islan. the us navy also planned to operate some big bombers off it if i recall correctly.

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.

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.

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...

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.

There was supposed to be a retractable conning area on the port side. One bit of trivia (and Irony) is that Harry Truman cancelled the ship 8 days after the keel was laid. There were no ships to be named United States till the Mid 1990's. At which point Bill Clinton , renamed the carrier USS Harry S. Truman. So it can be said that twice Harry Truman "sank" the United States.
