Final Vegeta Posted May 30, 2004 Posted May 30, 2004 New Studio Nue workers can't count There are actually 4 or 5 Phalanx CIWS? Anyway, I would love to see that OT beam cannon... maybe it's a mini Macross cannon? FV Quote

UN Spacy Posted May 30, 2004 Posted May 30, 2004 Whoa. Thanks for da new pics! Is that a Destroid Phalanx on the gunner deck? Quote
Aurel Tristen Posted May 30, 2004 Author Posted May 30, 2004 Whoa. Thanks for da new pics!Is that a Destroid Phalanx on the gunner deck? no, its the Cheyenne Destroid missile launcher variant Quote
Aurel Tristen Posted June 1, 2004 Author Posted June 1, 2004 How many ships of this class are there? Could be one.... could be several there is no information on that. There is only reference to a 250 meter class. Quote

VF-18S Hornet Posted June 6, 2004 Posted June 6, 2004 How come that Asuka II looks like those space carriers from Macross 7. should be a litte closer to the Prometheus since it a carrier in the year 2007. I just don't understand it. Quote
That NOS Guy Posted June 6, 2004 Posted June 6, 2004 How come that Asuka II looks like those space carriers from Macross 7. should be a litte closer to the Prometheus since it a carrier in the year 2007. I just don't understand it. The connection to the Ark Royal-class is obvious if you think about it. It's a stealth carrier, therefore it has all those funky angles and the like. Plus, it's not designed to be a submersible carrier like the Promethus-class. The Ark Royals and the Asuka II have the same design philosphy and mission in mind so it's not an entire suprise to me.

There is no such thing as an Ark Royal-class in Macross. You mean Uraga-class: http://nanashi.macrossmecha.info/resrc/cat...hips/uraga.html Also see the Saratoga II entry: http://nanashi.macrossmecha.info/resrc/cat.../saratoga2.html Quote
That NOS Guy Posted June 6, 2004 Posted June 6, 2004 I meant the Uraga-class just stuck on the old MAHQ listings. Quote
USCOLMRNE Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 the Asuka class carrier is sooo beatifull, the US Navy should consider the Asuka II design for the USN CVN-21 Program Quote
David Hingtgen Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 Nah, with the announcement that all S-3's are to be replaced by (guess what) Super Hornets, all we need is 1 simple design that can carry 100 Super Hornets and nothing else. Quote

A long wooden plank that can't go very fast, that can't turn very well, and costs more than to upgrade our current carriers? Quote
Chuey Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 Thanks for the information and the image captures. I especially like the breathtaking pictures from the OVAs . Quote
