The another ship of this TL: Following the end of the Cold War, the United States Navy decommissioned its four Iowa-class battleships, noting that the Marines didn't often have to make amphibious landings. But Missouri's decisive shutdown of Afrikaner gun positions on Table Mountain in Cape Town in ...

Oh did I forget to mention that the navalized F-16 is based on the F-16XL with the landing gears from the F-14 Tomcat :twisted: ? And remember the POD is 1970; there are billions of butterflies at this point. In the TL, the Brits have already made the Queen Elizabeth class in the early 2000s. They p...

Well first, that CF-16K is actually a mistake as it will replace the corsair in the future.
