Modern Carrier (1960 Modern Systems)
Modern Carrier - 1960 Systems Integration! - 0 boats: MODERN CARRIER - Pure speculation with 1960 advanced technology! 68,000 tons, 32 kts, 60 aircraft (30 Mach 2+ fighters F-4 Phantom equivalent + 25 jet attack A-6 Intruder equivalent + 4 AEW E-2 Hawkeye equivalent + 6 helicopters!). MODERN SYSTEMS: Digital combat direction (early digital fire control!), satellite communications (early satcom!), 3D radar with automatic tracking, automated carrier landing systems (precision approach!), advanced ECM/ESM (electronic warfare!). All-missile defense (Terrier/Tartar/Sea Sparrow + Phalanx CIWS equivalent!). Nuclear strike capability (theoretical!). 16,000 nm range (global reach!). PURE SPECULATION - Germany never pursued carriers (Cold War focus on submarines, fast attack craft, land/air defense). Unified Germany (post-1990) had no carrier program. THEORETICAL ONLY! NEVER BUILT!
