So here is idea. The JFK was the ship they used for the short run TV show Super Carrier. So therefore in my time line the big George was built along with the JFK. Except she was a special duty carrier. A carrier that was always ready to serve any mission. So her flight deck may be filled with helicopters for ASW, natural disasters support and a group of fighters for support along with other aircraft that are needed. So it's 2000ish. So what does the George look like.Well she is a hybrid her island is a mix of the nimtiz and the JFK. Especially the angle stack. She been upgraded to all domes,weapons and electronics that are seen on a carrier at this time. So here is my plan is have a Nimitz island and a JFK kit. I working on the idea she is sort of a multipurpose CV so she needs only three elevators not sure if I going to full in the forward most one or the one behind the island. Since the time frame allows f-14 she will have some along with f-18, Hawkeyes and few prowler's and Vikings. Along with a mix of hero's
Including SH-60's, CH-53, Cobras and UH-1N. Your thoughts?

Re: 1/350 what-if JFK aka CV-?? USS Georgetown
OOPS I forgot to GOOGLE the list of CV's . CV-47 was assigned to the Philippine sea. So I looked at the list Basically all of the 50's are open. I know the United States was supposed to CV-58 I am still trying to keep the seven. So she might become CV 57 instead or 55 since we don't have any CV's with double numbers. Your thoughts?
