Subjectively, this is not a big selling point for me. But I otherwise agree that the JFK would be a good addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I otherwise agree that the JFK would be a good addition. I think her long service life and use in 2 "incidents" and 2 conflicts is worth considering. Yes, the Kitty Hawks should be in someday, somehow, but trying to do all 3 can quickly get challenging with the differences in their superstructures and other details. First 2 Forrestals had some differences from the last 2. Enterprise is the other candidate if you had to do a 1-off, a unique design if you do the work to represent pre- and post-refit islands. And she did at least have 3 F-4J cruises, while the Kennedy went right from F-4Bs to Tomcats when VF-14 and VF-32 started the transition in 1974. I just think given the maps we currently have in the Med, the JFK checks a bunch of historic boxes and for multiple modules. And for the Pacific, yes the Enterprise would do the same. 1 Heatblur Rivet Counting Squad™ VF-11 and VF-31 1988 [WIP] VF-201 & VF-202 [WIP] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had my way the F-8 would come with a Vietnam Essex, the A-6 would come with the Kittyhawks, the F-4 and A-7 would have the Midway or Enterprise. Though I would also like other members of the Gulf of Tonkin Yacht club 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
