USS Essex use In World War 2

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

Well Britain has an assault carrier HMS Ocean.

sheese...everyone is talking about museums now... :[

In case you didnt know the BluGhost is a WW2 carrier officially named as USS Lenxington...

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.

Sadly the days of the good old days when the British Empire ruled the seas are over. The British Empire was the most extensive empire in world history and for a substantial time was not only a major power but the foremost power in the world.

A good thing, surely? Seeing as how maintaining all those Iowa class ships would've been a waste of money. Plus the Iraqi navy has never been up to much.

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