Description:

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.

Example flights here (comes standard with an unmodded placeholder flight)

For the perspective Admiral who wants a modern escort carrier slash sea control ship! At just 14.000 tonnes of displacement, you can now legally challange the Kusnetzov from within the black sea! Also perfect for if you think the HMAS Melbourne is just way too large! Aircraft compliment not included! Remembering obviously that the ship is already decommissioned by the Italians and this modification borders on a meme ship. Idk what the Indonesians wanna do with it but certainly not this.

(Obviously) tweaked flight deck and 90 meter catapult, as well as spaghetti magic arresting wire to manage fixed wing airframes up to around an F-4 or Gannet. 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.
Slightly tweaked the CWIS to fire only half of the time. Otherwise exactly the same as the lha Garibaldi.

Have fun!

Todo:
Wait on the brits to discover catapult tilting technology
Get the Helicopter tweaks admitted to the original mod
Clip horizontal stabilizers for hangar storage
Tell Guiseppe to clear the deck when there’s planes landing
Invent worlds smallest AWACS
Sail the black sea
