USS Fleet Carriers in WW2
« on: December 11, 2015, 02:01:38 AM »

I was checking the content in CUP and I think there are only 5 more USS carriers to have them all !

CV-1 Langley
CV-4 Ranger
CV-15 Randolph
CV-20 Bennington
CV-21 Boxer

Amazing almost 21 CVs in the sim  :-*
the last 3 is just changing the numeral in the Essex model, right?

So, I kindly request the CV 1 and CV 4  :-| :P

Add USS Wasp - CV7

The stock Essex cv is the short hull version.
I have added the Long Hull version USS Boxer CV-21 already.

Maybe you could find a source of some hull lines drawings for Langley and Ranger?

Surely an oversight in the CUP!
Those two already exist!

When I say hull lines I mean something like this  --- along with an elevation showing the locations of the cross sections.
Its the only way to make an accurate hull model.
