615 [POW1] GravyDave1 Members 5,078 posts Report post #1 Posted October 9, 2015 What historic ship would you like to see in WoWs. Now keep in mind the name ship of the class would be in tech tree. Anything else would be a premium. List why you want to see it. For me I want to see the USS Hornet CV8. My grandfather was on her. Doolittle's raid Battle of Midway until she was sunk in Battle of Santa Cruz. She is a Yorktown class CV. So she would be a premium. Maybe have a one time strike of B 25's on her. Displacement: 20,000 long tons (20,000 t) (standard) 25,500 long tons (25,900 t) (full load) 29,114 long tons (29,581 t) (maximum) Length: 770 ft (230 m) (waterline at design draft) 824 ft 9 in (251.38 m) (overall) Beam: 83 ft 3 in (25.37 m) (waterline) 114 ft (35 m) (overall) Draft: 24 ft 4 in (7.42 m) design 28 ft (8.5 m) full load Installed power: 120,000 shp (89,000 kW) Propulsion: 4 × Parsons geared steam turbines 9 × Babcock & Wilcox boilers Speed: 32.5 kn (37.4 mph; 60.2 km/h) (design) 33.84 kn (38.94 mph; 62.67 km/h) (builder's trials) Range: 12,500 nmi (14,400 mi; 23,200 km) at 15 kn (17 mph; 28 km/h) Complement: 2,919 officers and enlisted (wartime) Armament: 8 × 5 in (127 mm)/38 cal dual purpose guns 16(4x4) × 1.1 in (28 mm)/75 cal anti-aircraft guns 24 × M2 Browning .50 in (12.7 mm) machine guns Armor: Belt: 2.5–4 in (63.5–102 mm) Deck: 4 in (102 mm) 60 lb STS steel Bulkheads: 4 in (102 mm) Conning Tower: 4 in (100 mm) sides, 2 in (51 mm) top Steering Gear: 4 in (102 mm) Aircraft carried: 72 × aircraft Aviation facilities: 3 × elevators 3 × hydraulic catapults (2 flight deck, 1 hangar deck) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2,750 [FOXEH] Kitsunelegend Beta Testers 6,103 posts 1,313 battles Report post #4 Posted October 9, 2015 For me it would be the Pennsylvania class BBs. Not just because of the Arizona, but because I'd like to represent my state. Good old Pennsylvania steel! The closest thing we have now to the class is the New Mexico class, but I'd like the actual class itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

424 [B2P] Xenomancers Members 2,309 posts 7,873 battles Report post #8 Posted October 9, 2015 I agree - I also want cv-8 hornet. Currently there is no Yorktown class so it would make sense. A historic ship. Enterprise would be great too possibly a t7 premuim. Problem is I think premium cv would make the server explode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, there's another thread like this over here: Favorite ship you want in game. Edit: I'd also suggest checking into the What we know about Ships thread, invariably many of the ships which come up in this sort of discussion are already slated to wind up in the game at some point or other (e.g., Yorktown).

But never did. I think it was a cost thing. Have to reread the story to make sure. Been some time since I read about them two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

18 BigJimJack Members 181 posts 1,756 battles Report post #23 Posted October 9, 2015 I want that "Large Cruiser" the U.S.S. Alaska. They would be among the fastest ships in the game. Even though the guns are only 12 inchers they hit as hard as the US 14/50's and they fire 2.5 to 3 rpm. It's soft armor would mean you need to hit and run, but you can put out alot in a short amount of time. Hopefully they can find a place for it. It's like the Deutschland class. They are odd balls.

1 Gration Beta Testers 20 posts 1,672 battles Report post #25 Posted October 9, 2015 I would be interested in seeing the USS Alaska or one of her sister ships the the Guam or Hawaii added. i think they would be an interesting dynamic between a full blown battle ship and a heavy cruiser with the 12" guns at higher tear levels.
