How can this thing generate a 30% higher sortie rate if it only has three elevators?
>>33661750
The elevators move faster
This is now an elevator thread
>>33661750
elevators catapults the aircraft straight into the sky
>>33661750
Because sortie rate isn't just depended on elevators?
>>33661750
They're 30% bigger.
It has a -9001% lower sortie rate because its god damn catapults don't work at all.
>>33661750
The fourth elevator was basically never used. Ever. Hence why they removed it from the design for the Ford.
It gains its sortie rate through a whole ream of other improvements to the process ot getting aircraft ready, the biggest one being the EML is much quicker to set up and operate than steam catapults.

The mental image of this gave me a good laugh.

Also it's munitions handling is much more efficient

Could they stand and F-35 on its tail and launch it straight up?

I've once calculated that if cariers had a square cross section and the extra volume was filled with helium, it would have enought boyuancy to fly. Why it was never tried?

>Do you even own a gun
>>33661750
It has a small elevator just for bombs.

And what's the correct Pakistani word for ramp?

Aircraft carrier subs when?
>>33663684
Just like a flashlight is called a torch, and chips are crisps, and cigarettes are fags? Take back your place as the dominant superpower in the world, then maybe people will start using your idiotic slang words again.
>>33665833
Brits are subjects, they don't have rights, they gave them all away in exchange for tea.
>>33663684

WWII, the I-400 class submarines

He could be a chicom too.
>>33667551
Neat but not what I had in mind. I was thinking more along the lines of nuclear powered carrier-sized sub with ICBM styled fighter deployment
