I wonder how often aircraft on the deck get damaged by heavy sea's?

Iran's mock up of a carrier has sunk in the channel to the Navy base.  Bandar Abbas.
This could become a lot of fun watching them try to salvage it.

That is funny!

I’ve spent half my life’s earning on wargames, women, and drink. The rest I wasted.

A Self-Sinking Aircraft Carrier. What will they think of next?  ::)  Wait, isn't that called a ... Submarine?  :hehe:

I suspect there may be a technical difference between 'sinking' and 'submerging'.

You are correct as always Good Sir.  But I wonder if the Ayatollah will be as understanding when he finds out his fake Aircraft Carrier is now a Fishing Pier.  :hehe:

This has been a bad year for Aircraft Carriers hasn't it? Even pretend ones. Maybe it's time to go back to Dreadnaughts.  :-[
