QuoteTophe, have you ever thought Zwilling carriers instead or aircrafts ?  :cheers:
No, I haven't. I am almost not interested in boats, trucks, tanks, sorry :( ... However, it would be funny to have P-82s (or He 111Zs) on a catamaran carrier, I agree... :)

QuoteJust love the German catamaran carrier! Hmmm... catamran Nimitz!!! Tophe, have you ever thought Zwilling carriers instead or aircrafts ?  :cheers:
hmm, the 1/720 italeri moulds of the nimitz class would be ideal for this.

think, you could have a floating version of the flightline at say nellis AFB,  :o  :D  :rolleyes:

There's tons of carrier models  at the shop... never built boats, but "zwilling" two Nimitz would be fantastic!

But this catamaran would have two islands (one on each side!!)
Better to have
- two islands on the same side (like the CVF !  ;) )
- Or, even better, a huge island build from the small two!

This could be a group build... catamaran carriers...
(I remember a project from the 70's  with Tomcat-look alike tail-sitters)

Well, I don't know about large catamaran aircraft carriers, but there have been a number  of proposals for a small one - see here.

There was also the Trimaran STAC proposal from AVPRO:
