As far as I know about the Forrestal Supercarrier integration Heatblur was discussing it with ED but so far no news.

I haven't found any newer information than this one.

I was right there are at least plans

I was just talking about this with the group I'm part of. The last time there was any update on Assets and the Essex class aircraft carrier was back in 2022 on their Facebook page. I think I remember hearing about a light carrier that was also in the works but that was a while ago.

I seem to recall my Dad telling me that the deck edge lights that define the landing area were what he called, "dustpan lights" which could only be seen from astern. 

Troublemaker.

Ha!

Keep up the good work.

The "2024 and beyond" dont show a Liberty ship, has the APA Arthur Middleton. The funnel  and superstructure dont math with the ship form.

Thanks for the info, Silver Dragon, I stand corrected. Is the Samuel Chase already in DCS? Oh, boy, I should play more often!

That's from the 2024 & Beyond video, I believe. Not completely new.
