CheckGear Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Why do you need boilers when you have a nuke plant producing tons of steam? Umm... because the Forrestal-class is a conventionally-powered aircraft carrier, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosferatuwhisky 1-1 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Why do you need boilers when you have a nuke plant producing tons of steam? The Forrestal class were CVs, not CVNs. and a nuclear powerplant is really just a boiler when you get right down to it. Boil water, use steam to do shit.

I thought the forestal was nuclear :) CVN-65 Enterprise was the first nuclear powered carrier. Next was CVN-68 Nimitz and every carrier thereafter has been a nuke.

mwd2 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Could you use CAT 1 and CAT 2 from the USS John C. Stennis at the same time with two Tomcats prepare for launch? I think, the CATs are to close together so that the spread wings from both F-14s will touch each other.

Revelation Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Sure, but that wasn't the question at hand. Shadoga was responding to: Could you use CAT 1 and CAT 2 from the USS John C. Stennis at the same time with two Tomcats prepare for launch? I think, the CATs are to close together so that the spread wings from both F-14s will touch each other.

Flamin_Squirrel Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Shadoga talks about simultanious launches, mwd2 is talking about preparation. I'm struggling to see why you think those two events are one and the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadoga Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Easy folks! It doesn't really matter if the question was precise or not and looking for only one detail or a broader picture - since now all aspects of the situation in question have been laid out here by multiple answers for everyone as a future reference. That's a good thing. Poisoning the thread with silly arguments over who's the better pea-counter is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
