Tithe.

Instead of my usual drivel, I have a serious question today. Does anyone recall if the Washington Naval Treaty imposed any displacement limits on CVs? I was under the impression that it did not, but an article I read suggests that it does.

Thanks!

It did. Only two carriers per signatory nation could displace more than 27,000 tons and these could be no more than 33,000 tons. This was to allow reconstruction of battlecruisers.

Very near, in fact. About half a mile away. If the wind's right, it'll be a free concert.

.....and a cheap high. [8D]

[Onime No Kyo]

OK make that a serious question and drivel. [:D]

CV's were adressed specifically by the treaty. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Treaty_for_the_Limitation_of_Naval_Armaments

Ok, you have to be a little careful of Wikipedia, but I believe this one's correct.

Thanks T. But I thought the Lex and Sara displaced significantly more. [X(]

Not empty. Full they were around 33,000 tons (including boiler water, fuel, Ammo, People, etc).

[DuckofTindalos]

Standard displacement was 33,000 tons. Maximum displacement added about 10,000.

Ok, just seriously urinated on a trash-mouth pissant on the main boards. I'm ducking for cover, but I know Mynok just loves that stuff, so ...

So there I was at the super-market, getting stuff to eat, and was wandering past the frozen fowls, when I look, and what do I see in the midst of all the capons, but a goose.

Well, I got some friends coming over tomorrow, so I think to myself – self, hmm, a goose, yeah, cool, I can do a goose. So I snag the goose. I get a bunch of other stuff and head for the checkout line.

Whoah, Nellie. Everything goes ‘beep’ except Ms Goose.

“Oh, this doesn’t have a tag, so we’ll have to get a price.” Yeah, okay, no worries. And on, and on.

“Sir, I’m afraid we can’t find a price, on this.” Oh, that’s ok, says I – I found it in the bin of frozen capons. “Oh, but this is a goose, it isn’t a capon.” No worries, says I, just think about it – a goose is just a great big chicken. So just charge me for a great big fat capon. “But sir, that’s going to be expensive.” Oh, says I, that’s quite all right.

So a 7lb goose for $18.00. Woof! It was all I could do to keep from ROTFFLMAO.

" ...a goose is just a great big chicken ". Hilarious. I have cooked up lots of other birds, but never a goose. Tell us how it comes out.
