... why the huge A/C rating?

LSV....Landing Ship Vehicle

and the air rating must be an error

Did you try puting ACs on it...it might be interesting...[8D]

Yeah, at 115%, you can have 2070 aircraft on that scow.

Actually, yes, but I promise not to base a/c on it.

[AmiralLaurent]

The late-war Japanese transport submarines have an A/C capacity of 80...

I guess that in both case, it should be translated "cargo capacity".

[Nemo121]

But what does LSV stand for? Landing Ship Vehicle ????

[el cid again]

The same field is used for cargo and aircraft capacity. And on subs, the field gets multiplied (by 10 if I remember right) - so 8 = 80 -
any value over 3 (the I 400 compliment) gets multiplied - since it is then a cargo sub. And some reports are screwed up - a report cannot know if the sub is a plane type or a cargo type - apparently.

Now some classes of auxiliaries might be similar.

But if you see a big aircraft capacity on some AVs - THAT is RIGHT>
In RHS the Langley (for one example) is given her real capacity - and really could operate seaplanes. Actually did have some.

[MadmanRick]

Actually from the reference I could find the ratings of this ship are spot on.

maybe 1800 pieces of 1:100 scaled models of aircraft on it for the admiral to play with [:D]
