I just noticed the paratroopers. Trying to drop onto a burning aircraft carrier. With chutes that can't be steered. In the middle of active air combat.

A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

Hey, if one of them lands on the carrier and manages to hide near one of the ammo boxes they can just keep throwing more and more TNT charges BF42 style until the whole thing sinks!
The rest of the paratroopers will be bringing in water. Or the coast guard rescue boats.
This is by far the best NCD post I've seen. It just keeps giving back.
Why is there a giant turreted cannon on the flight deck?
Where the hell would you put it?
Underside.
How else is a carrier going to sink a battleship, dummy?
Ramming in head on, full throttle!
"The front quarter mile of our flight deck will blot out the sun!"
"Then we'll sink in the shade."
Cause it wouldn't work before the deck, duh
And sized like a kiddie pool.
A couple of our early carriers did have cruiser 8-inch gun turrets. I think Lexington still had hers when she was sunk but yeah they didn't do that again.
It's a cope cage tank
Better resolution for easier mockery:
*Gun not included
I cherish the overhanging flight deck that, by itself, is 1/3 the length of the keel. It's like an overbite. The front teeth of 'ol 65 docks an an hour before the rest of her does.
Well done haha
They somehow managed to put an after burner on a 117.
All its missing is an Evangelion angel or Godzilla and King Kong springboarding off of it and breaking its keel in half in the process.
EDIT: Also, is that... a civilian helicopter, or maybe a Kiowa like dropping a bomb on the aft of the carrier?
Are we not going to talk about the, what, 17" dual turret in front of the elevator?
All ships need more dakka.
The real deal's only 17mm.
17" CIWS
Same fire rate.
Edit: Okay, imma do some math. Let's be generous and use a 16" gun because I couldn't find a modern 17" gun.
At 1,225 kg and 75 rounds/second that's 91,875 kg or almost 92 tons of projectiles going down range.
At 762 m/s for the AP projectile that would be 7.001 × 10^7 N of force, or 77.5 Boeing 747s at full thrust.
That ship might roll a tad.
Waitaminute...it has sound and lights?! VID VID VID
Probably should've planned better earlier. You don't even need a crystal ball for that.
