On this day,

From the Navy News Service

1941 - First escort carrier, USS Long Island (CVE 1), commissioned.

Now don't that make you feel warm and fuzzy?

[DoomedMantis]

about as warm and fuzzy as an artic iceball[:)]

Again the poor LI receives abuse. In one of my recent pbem games, the LI was my only way of getting fighters to Oz from Noumea. I can't bear to see her ridiculed. How many times have I sent her back to Pearl to get that next CV? and she keeps coming back like a faithful dog.

[DoomedMantis]

you have almost made my artic iceball melt[8D]

[Fallschirmjager]

I found her useful in UV for carting fighters around. Im sure I will find them alot more useful in WiTP since the distances are greater. I never tried but...can you actualy run flight ops off of them? Im sure you could use them for their namesake role of escorting transport TF's.

Yes you can, just put a nice little 16 plane SBD group on her and viola - flight ops.
