WW2 Escort Carrier - 97 parts


Recommended Posts

 
 
 
WW2 escort carrier. These carriers were small, light, slow, ugly and had minimal armor yet were fast and cheap to build. US Navy designation: CVE ... among crews known as "Combustible, Vulnerable, Expendable". Same with this one but ... only 97 parts. Without guns and airplanes and without elevator. This ship has 8 cells which can flood due to combat damage. With 2 cells filled on one side, it will capsize. With 4 cells filled it will sink to the bottom, regardless of location.
Tonnage: 12.200.
Length: 163m.
Width: 32m.
Height: 25m.
Flank speed: 22 knots (11.5 m/s).
Airplane capacity on hangar deck: probably around 20, more if folding wings are used.
While size and speed are comparable with the Casablanca class, it's a bit heavier.
