US Navy currently outfitting warships with subspace tech
on: March 25, 2007, 08:02:10 pm

The US Navy has just completed the construction of an extremely large "mega-carrier", shown here dwarfing the also subspace-capable U.S.S Nimitz. This ship, it is confidently predicted, will be capable of crushing anything America's enemies can offer with her huge complement of fighters. Her FTL capability allows hit-and-run attacks, though jump drives for fighters have not yet been perfected..

Borked? More like link-suicide!

Looks interesting... sort of retro but still whatever.

 :nervous:


We're leaving together,
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back,
To earth, who can tell ?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground
Will things ever be the same again?

It's the final countdown...

We're heading for Venus and still we stand tall
Cause maybe they've seen us and welcome us all
With so many light years to go and things to be found
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so.

I'm still wondering how the comment "The stall speed of the F14 is higher than the max speed of the Zero." when the stall speed of the Zeros is higher than the max speed of that boat, and they were having no troubles.

F-14D is still my favorite aircraft of all time.  :)

The F-14 stalls out around 70 knots or so, and the zero was good for around 300, anyways.  I also like the comment that the Zero's 20mm cannon "can't penetrate a jet fighter" :)

Uh... sorry for my ignorance... but isn't that true? The F-14 has a max speed of 2695.176 kM/h the zero 500... there's really no competition.  :wtf:

We're talking about the min speed of the F-14 versus the max speed of the Zero. :)

Besides, the Zero got murdered because of hit-and-run tactics in the end. That would be a thousand times worse.

Going after Zeros in an F-14 would be like...clubbing baby seals.
