I served on the USS Wasp(LHD_1) and had the privilege of riding on LCACs too. They can stop in the water, shut their engines down and float fully loaded if need be. I also had multiple opportunity to be dunked in an AAV to make beach landings. (USMC vet)

Yeah, but the Merlin engine in the P51 Mustang came as part of a total package. The Zumwalts are so expensive that their development is limited to three ships and they can't fire the Advanced Gun System because the rounds are too expensive.

Battleships are devided into 2 main categories. Pre- and post-Dreadnaught. Battleships (ironclads). The term battleship was coined in the 1880's. The Dreadnaught didn't arrive until 1906, but had the distinction of being the first ship with standard size main gun batteries combined with other naval innovations. However, The USS Texas was built in 1892 and The USS Maine, an actual battleship, was sunk in Havana harbor in 1898.

[@richardsauceda7074]

@@michael_angelo Thanks for the post!! Fyi, Michael, I have since learned that they were designed this way because the piston engines rotated to port so with the island on starboard the rotational torque would send the plane off the deck and not into the island incase of a mishap and it looks cool!!👍With that being said, this is no longer a problem with jets, so why use the same cookie cutter??
