DDE Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 1936 Soviets had a little bit of trouble with physics and thought that the ideal way to land the nascent VDV's armored support was by using water as a cushion. The little T-37 was not particularly amphibious afterwards: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you are also required to recover to be an aircraft carrier Lost of ships around WW 2 was able to launch seaplanes, this was very common for battleships and cruisers. However would the drone need landing wheels to land anyway, unless its an cruise missile. And beside the shape it don't look very stealthy.

It would still be an light carrier but an very capable one. Because the larger size it could handle much rougher seas. But with an reactor it would be expensive and planes are still much faster than it and nuclear powered supercarriers are fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US went on to explore 40000 t designs, but at that point they realized they'd need a whole new Navy to follow it at 80 knots... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes saw an youtube about this, hovercraft also has limits in heavy sea, larger ones is less limited but a bit stupid if your escort cant follow you.
