LHA Garibaldi CATOBAR mod (meets Montreaux Convention) (updated for 0.7)
Optional (period) AEW / Strike:
Rotary-Wing Sea King AEW2&5 OR AEW2 (<1993) & AEW5 (>1994)
Etendard Strike Fighter
The lha Garibaldi but CATOBAR (and adjusted heli points). Shoutout to zzocalu and 5_12 for Italy Navy mod, GoldLeader108 for inspiration on CATOBAR on ships that don’t.
For the perspective Admiral who wants a 1983 escort carrier slash sea control ship! At just 14.000 tonnes of displacement, you can now challange the Kusnetzov from within the black sea! Also perfect for if you think Majestic-class carriers are just way too large! Aircraft compliment not included!
With the additional mods it comes with a small flight of F-4J, Super Etendard and Sea King AEW, all you could ever want (Except ASW, oopsie). Remembering obviously that this modification borders on a meme ship.
(Obviously) tweaked flight deck and 90 meter catapult, as well as spaghetti magic arresting wire to manage fixed wing airframes up to around 16 meter wingspan airplanes, elevator is only 18x9m though. As well as all 6 heli launch points and 2 tweaked landing points just to clown on Submarines. Helo point 6 is also available during catapult launches for starting and landing.
Otherwise exactly the same as the lha Garibaldi.
Have fun!
