Brant Gaede Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 In terms of its mission, size and capabilities, the first truly modern aircraft carrier thanks to mid-fifties' alterations. That's why it served 47 years. It was built during WWII. Commissioned just after the end of it.I'd love to see its Montana battleship hull schematics.--Brant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
