There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Hmm USS Langley CV-1 as converted to AV-3 seaplane tender - sunk by Betty bombers off Java while transporting P-40s?
Stuart,
My guess HNLMS Soerabaja
If you're running out of ideas for large vessels, how about a multi-LOD USS Saratoga we could paint camo onto?
No
We have a USS Langley somewhere. I must check to see if it is as AV-3
Right theatre.
Cheers

Yes there is an AV-3 version modelled by Bruce alongside the original CV-1, with P40 cargo modelled on the deck.
IIRC Maxstuka was trying to alpha out the P40s, I have a zip of some platform data I worked on for him at the time...
... could always do with an upgrade though
and you are absolutely right CK, the story of it's fate really does bring home just how desperate the struggle was, & how close to being out of options the Allies were in those first few months of the PTO.
