JmartyG Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 If its a World War 2 era ship, where's its name listed? Ill buy it if it comes with a Spitfire or two.

bigred Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 it's name is officially stripped off it at the point of decomission. also it may have been a WWII era ship when it was built, but that doesn't mean wasn't retro fitted to work with modern equipment. look at the Iowa class battleships that ripped up iraq's costal defenses in the first gulf war. they saw combat in WWII and were still going strong 50 years later. I do believe that one of them was recomissioned by Bush over a year ago, and is being refitted to launch cruise missles and use it's big guns for shore bombardment (very cost effective weapon capable of launching a shell that weighs several tons over 30 miles NOW THAT'S WHAT I WANT) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JmartyG Posted January 3, 2004 Posted January 3, 2004 It would be intersting to find out the name and see what service it saw. It's like going to a junkyard and finding a frame of an old Camero. I still want a spitfire. Maybe i'll settle and build a P-5151 (ultralite version of a P-51) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
