You can't sling a cat on the internet without hitting one (also the Trek one's appeal to my Trekkie-nerd side).

Ever try taking off heavy when someone turns the boat?

Would be cool if you had the catapult option and avoided colliding with the tower on takeoff.

Not the reasoning I would use for catapults.

Oh come on Arlo. :bhead  If you were in a 1D fully loaded with ords with 100% fuel, THEN I'd say you are on to something. :)

Also, you didn't post enough pictures of Japanese CV's. :(

I enjoy turning the carrier just as a bunch of people are taking off or landing on it. It makes for great comic relief!

+1 I love the cat idea would really help hvy hogs and hellkittys don't have long enough legs to up heavy and be far enough out for the enemy to have to find the cv. I like upping 2 sectors or more away with SBDs and hogs
 ALSO IJN RN CVS  :O :O :O
