No phantom…it was from someone who saw combat a looong time ago with the US Army, and who, partly because of that, has a deep deep respect for the acronym K.I.S.S. and simple the V-22 aint. So if it can break, it will break….and usually at the worst possible time. And since you seem to want to attack people if they dont agree lockstep with your views…….its pretty clear you have never served with ANY armed force….so please….just go away. How was that? I admit I’m new to personal attacks, and not too good at them yet, like some people that post here, but I’m sure I’ll get better with practice……….
The V-22 “Deathtrap” will end up being one of the more interesting mistakes ever made by the US armed forces……….The Marines would have been much better off getting the EH101.
SHE FLIES!!!!!!!!!:)
OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!
Makes Kitty Hawk look reeeeeeeaal attractive!………..just kiddin!
I really do hope u guys are right.
How long ago were the CVFs announced? And what has taken place since? A long string of cuts………with no sign of it ever getting any better. No……there is just no way the carriers will ever be ordered. I hate to say this, but I think everyone knows this to be true…….those ships are just TOO tempting a target for “savings”.
Does anyone really believe the RN is going to get the 2 carriers? Not going to happen.
Just curious…
How would you rate these days the current F/A-18E/F Super Hornet?
Thanks
Loud!
THANK YOU Obi Wan!!!!!!! Only person who got the gist of my original question!!!! I just thought it would be neat to imagine Sinano or even Taiho with a mid 50s style rebuild. Didnt mean to start a discussion on ww2. But seeing as how I DID open Pandora’s box as it were, consider this: What would the course of ww2, IN THE PACIFIC, have been like if Japan had not attacked Pearl Harbor? In fact had not attacked ANY US targets at all? Just British and Dutch areas?
Actualy….the picture is a MK.9 Hawk……only was in one episode…….
A Chinese carrier, given the current lack of organic fixed-wing aviation expertise within the PLAN, will basically provide the PLAN with a training platform during peacetime and a Distinguished Service Medal for a US Navy submariner in wartime.

I’m sure it would rate a “Navy Cross”…..
While it would be interesting seeing MIG-29s and perhaps Su-33s operating off her……I dont put too much stock in this report……
Ahhh…..if only Halsey had given “Ching” Lee his chance and formed TF34……..
