They haven't changed much I don't think, they like to get as much life out of them as they can too.

Re: USS Essex use In World War 2

omg! go to http://www.navy.mil/navydata/fact_di...0&tid=400&ct=4 There were several ships named as USS Essex! Right now what we are talking about is an old WWII Carrier. In BF2, its a Amphitious Assault Ship that is like a carrier

P.S. heres the list of all naval aircraft carriers since 1900s http://www.navy.mil/navydata/ships/carriers/cv-list.asp
You could see that one you guys mentioned is already decommisioned

If you could also noticed in your video blueprint, they dont have a boat deck, Amphitious Assault Carriers i mentioned does. These Assault carriers carry Marines for a beach assault.

These links are all from the official U.S. Navy website

Re: USS Essex use In World War 2

Many carriers and warships today use the name from previous ships. USS Enterprise and Hornet for example.

Re: USS Essex use In World War 2

There is no U.S.S. Hornet today, the U.S.S. Enterprise is only named once for an aircraft carrier!

P.S. There is no U.S. Navy battleships today!...only in museums...:[

Confused Hornet to Boxer >_<

As for USS Enterprise, there were several USS that held that name, notably a WWII carrier and now the modern supercarrier.

sad that Battlefield 2 didnt put anymore new assault ships into the game, like an assault ship only with helipads. With boats on the side of the ship

With 19" Cannons? Still look up for the definitions of Battleship at http://www.navy.mil/navydata/ships/b...attleships.asp

We are wayyyy off topic...end of discussions now and back to what we are talking about

Re: USS Essex use In World War 2

Sadlt Britain doesn't have any aircraft carriers, we have three Through Deck Cruisers designed for VTOL aircraft. However these are being replaced with two modern aircraft carriers in 2012.

Re: USS Essex use In World War 2

Yeah...no country is as rich as the U.S.

But then, the Russians have carriers, the French has one too!

But we are talking about assault carriers once again...so off topic
