Right on the button! She is just too old and too manpower intensive.

Any plans to put an AIP in the Collins class?

How many Russian subs are actualy in commision and operable?

Do the Dolphin class have AIP?

Thanks. I’v read that the reason the F2A wasn’t continued was that the Brewster managment was not really up to the task of making airplanes in large numbers for Govt contracts..

And the ONE time it was used by US in combat, most of the Marine pilots were pretty green going up against the absolute BEST the Japanese Navy had.

Indeed! It was certainly as good, if not better, than the early Wildcat. The Finns did very well with it. Yet everything I read bout it says it was junk!
