LEGO Battleship Yamato / CV-62 Independence

Opps I humbly apologise.

Kev 99… don’t you think there is a difference between a Lego carrier with a big 75 on the flight deck and island (CVN-75 Harry Truman) and one with a 62 (CV-62 Independence) as the OP stated?

A hint… CV-62 was one of the first class of USN supercarriers*… was an oil-burner, and had a different arrangement of the 4 aircraft elevators (and the island was further forward).
CVN-75** is one of the nuclear-powered improved Nimitz-class carriers***.

*CV-59 Forrestal, CV-60 Saratoga, and CV-61 Ranger are the others… CV-62 was commissioned in 1959 and decommissioned in 1998.

** commissioned 1998

***3 Nimitz sub-class, 5 Theodore Roosevelt sub-class (Harry T is the last of these), 2 Ronald Reagan sub-class

I was specifically interested in the OP’s carrier, as I served aboard CV-61 Ranger.
I’ve already seen the CVN-75 Lego.

Google;)

Ummm… there is no Independence link… just two identical Yamato links.

I second that!:D

I’ve seen the Independence before, if anything the Yamato is even more impressive.
