This one's got a long way to go to being Kuznetsov'd, for one you need to weld off unused areas, then make the engine room look like something from Saw, replace the catapult with a cope slope. Oh, and have it spew clouds of black smoke whenever it's not moved by tugs (which is like 10%), maybe keep it in port for "modernization" for a few years too
Really its a wonder Trump hasn't mandated conventionally powered carriers, only his insane ideas with steam catapults.
Part of me wants to see more ships powered by marine gas* turbines, but with aircraft carriers that's really improbable :/
Of course plenty of smaller aircraft/helicopter carriers powered that way, but I'm thinking Trump would want heavy fuel oil, boilers and steam turbines.
They're powered by marine steam turbines. Is that close enough?
Close, but not nearly cool enough
