Specs: 824’ 9” l x 114’ b x 28’ d; 120,000 shp; 32.5 knots; crew: 2,919; 72 aircraft; 3 elevators; 3 catapults; armor: 4” deck; 2.5”-4” belt. Most carriers had little armor; Hornet was no exception.

10/ I love these M60 cross-sections. ↖️and ↗️are from https://t.co/MuxVgxS59d. I'd love to know where it is. ↙️ is from this excellent site: https://t.co/EO8fvZwilh.↘️is from https://t.co/GHAHnDWjr4.

6/ The Allison engines underperformed above 15,000'. RAF test pilots suggested using the Rolls Royce Merlin in the P-51. Packard started making license-building them as 1520 hp Packard V-1650. The result was the P-51B /Mustang III. 1,987 built at Inglewood, California.

6/ Except at https://t.co/iAxyinu0bc↖️and https://t.co/E7XzEwmRqU↗️, I can't find good Yamato diagrams. But I've toured New Jersey, Olympia, Yorktown, Alabama, Hornet, Laffey, etc. Based on that and this ↙️Mogami diagram, I'll guess at what's where.

#avgeek #aviation #airplanes #HELLO! Saunders-Roe SR/45 Flying Boat is the largest all-metal flying boat ever built. 3 made. 1 flew in 1952. Flying boats could takeoff from any long calm body of water, but new passenger jets like the De Havilland Comet obsoleted them.

5/ The 5"/38s were directed by a Mark 37 Gun Director (analogue computer). It was an analog computer with some remote control (but how much?). It still took 1,000 shots to down an enemy. https://t.co/LjqZnIuLYt TY @DesertStorm24ID!
