Absolute chaos.

Ok, hear me out. The hull number is for the USS Enterprise (CVN-65), which was deactivated in 2012. After that, instead of decommissioning, Elon Musk decides he needs a private military and hires Erik Prince to set it up. He buys the still-intact Enterprise, gets it modified the way he wants it, and sends it to Brazil to force X/Twitter back into service there. Full of Blackwater/Xe mercenaries, meth and coke are distributed to all personnel as daily rations. Fueled by the success of their first mission (and lots of drugs and alcohol), the bastard craft took to the high seas. It resembled a mobile party now, but a heavily-armed party. They looted, they raided, they held whole cities to ransom for fresh supplies of cheese, crackers, guacamole, spare ribs and wine and spirits that now get piped aboard from floating tankers.

I would like to start with the chain of command that insisted a battleship turret be installed on the flight deck.

..... and someone has allowed a local news helicopter to fly over the ship to provide live video footage of an active war scene.

Entire front end is useless for takeoff and landing. Also, LOTS of heads gonna roll for an entire carrier group *failing to protect the fucking carrier*.

This is what you get, when you put the army in charge of a carrier, instead of the boat people.

*The armored triple turret on the carrier that is apparently being fired at the MiG did not meet the bar to be included in the description.*

I mean, in fairness, at least the Mig-29 and F-117 are contemporaries, and deployed by enemies. I've seen playsets that include (iirc) an F-16 and a B-17 dogfighting against one another.

Also your F-117s are rocket powered or some shit because those flames are coming from the one place that isn’t exhaust

This is gold, thank you.

Sounds like a pretty normal day to me.

a deranged lunatic has parked an Abrams on the flight deck

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convoy_PQ_17

On receiving the third order to scatter on 4 July 1942, Lieutenant Leo Gradwell RNVR, commanding the anti-submarine trawler HMS *Ayrshire*, did not want to head for Archangelsk and led his convoy of *Ayrshire* and *Troubador*, *Ironclad* and *Silver Sword* north. On reaching the Arctic ice, the convoy pushed into it, then stopped engines and banked their fires. The crews used white paint from *Troubador*, covered the decks with white linen and arranged the Sherman tanks on the merchant vessels decks into a defensive formation, with loaded main guns. After a period of waiting and having evaded *Luftwaffe* reconnaissance aircraft, finding themselves unstuck, they proceeded to the Matochkin Strait.

Now, you might say that the USS *Enterprise* isn't a merchant ship desperate for some kind of defensive armament, but on the other hand, it appears to be firing battleship guns at a MiG still flying low right above the ship, and I have to believe that a tank's main gun, to say nothing of the machine guns, are probably more-suitable as short-range antiaircraft weapons than a battleship gun for that.

Frankly, I think that given the scenario, pre-positioning a tank in that situation probably demonstrates a considerable amount of foresight.

Hey don't make fun of Old Reliable - that tank is their deck gun.

I'm assuming that the Abrams tank makes sense to protect the people on deck from the blast of the guns on that turret.

I thought the F117a doesn't have a2a capabilities. It acts like a hole in the sky, drops a couple of bombs and then the distant AWACS plane laughs maniacally.
