Anyone know how to place the Stennis/Supercarrier in any of the lakes?

[obious]

I’m just doing a bit of VR testing and I tried to place the Supercarrier in one of the lakes in NTTR but I wasn’t able to find it in the list of available ships in the drop down menu in the mission editor; all I was able to place on the map was a tug of some kind as a small patrol boat.

Anyone know any to place a carrier (or any other ship for that matter), in the NTTR map? Note, I know you can place the SC as a static object but I’d like to be able to trap etc on the deck

Thanks

Select USA, Turn off the historical filter or set a date when the carriers operated.

I'm not sure when you tried this but I'm 99% sure it doesn't work as you described. OP was requesting a NON static object - and carriers are not available for USA on the NTTR map, even without historic filter.

Honestly I consider this at least it's a lacking feature if not a bug. Yes, it may not be realistic but I'd appreciate the creative freedom for mission makers to have all ships available, even on the NTTR map.
On top the UK for example has a Boat Schnellboot type S310 available - which is a German vessel (WW2 mind you). So even the current configuration is not realistic at all.

For the USA there's only 2 two ships available:
1. Boat Armed Hi-Speed 
2. Harbor Tug

What you look for (placing aircraft carriers in the middle of a lake) is not a game feature, it is called an exploit. You won't get that from ED. Try the Modding section instead.

You can place a speedboat, open the .miz file, find the "mission" file inside, look for the "speedboat" unit inside that file, and change its type to "CVN_75" or whatever.

Selecting it in the Mission Editor will revert it back to a speedboat, so you'll have to set up its TACAN, ILS and whatnot manually.

An exploit like an aircraft carrier on the Georgia map?  Ok, at least with Georgia it's realistic; not sure how we're going to portage a CV into a puddle.

The Montreux Convention makes a carrier in the black sea highly unlikely.  Geography makes it even less likely. 

The Kuz is an 'Aviation Cruiser' for a reason.
