Probably some Revolutionary Guards theme park, get the kids in to beat the U.S. with shoes or something.
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

A fake fighter will look very nice sitting on a fake CV.

They've panted the mockup carrier to look like the USS Nimitz, including its CVN number, 68. So for whatever purpose they plan to use it, it will represent America.

First, the aircraft on board. Models or not, The bottom two clearly look like F/A-18s, the top one? Maybe Mirage F-1?

A long time ago I read a book... http://www.amazon.com/Nimitz-Class-Patrick-Robinson/dp/009922562X In this book a fictional Nimitz Class CV, "Thomas Jefferson" is torpedoed with a Nuclear Torp by a Rogue Iranian Diesel Boat, Hunt for Red October plot ensues. Is this some kind of training platform, or maybe a movie prop?

A lot of fiction stuff/art that I have read or played in the past seems to be more an more plausible as the future unfurls... Just saying.  :noid
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
