Challenge: Build the 600 Ship Navy......and keep it!

[Don Lardo]

Hastily drawn napkin.

So the airship literally drops the drop tanks onto the aircraft? And while the airship is moving at less then 100kph and the aircraft is moving at hundreds of kph?

Quite honestly I can't tell if you're a masterful troll, completely insane, or profoundly stupid.

There's another possibility though...

Did you draw that on a cocktail napkin? If so, how many cocktails have you had?

To Gridley: If you print out that diagram and post it in the office break room, I'll bet it will go viral throughout Boeing in less than one work day.

To Everyone Else: Save that drawing and, the next time someone brings up the topic the Nazi's war-winning napkinwaffe, post it as a way of explanation.

Actually I drew my idea first then made a virtual napkin underneath it. I stand by my idea though.

That's quite true. But I had them get major overhauls at the end of the Vietnam war - they needed them - which replaces their engines, does a lot of repairs and upgrades, improves weapon systems, repairs faults and does all the other work needed to get the ships returned to excellent working order, thus giving them the ability to work for some time longer.

And FYI, USS Los Angeles (CA-135) was one of the last of the Baltimore class completed, commissioned in July 1945, decommissioned in 1948. Reactivated to fight in Korea and stayed in commission until November 1963.

Thanks for the information, Mann.
