> [@kawaiitentaclebeast](#): > > Considering the US ended the war with about 30 (thirty) odd fleet carriers (IIRC, there were 26 Essex class fleet carriers alone), I’d say the German CV was probably not the most effective use of their resources. 😛 Hey, since when did the words “Nazi,” “aircraft,” and “effective use of resources” ever go together in the same sentence? (They did get a lot of good R&D done for the Allies who “inherited” their stuff, though.) 😃 > [@](#): > > This is MPSIMS, so it may be of interest that a good number of characters from the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion are named after aircraft carriers, and of course naval fleets are figured prominently in the first few episodes.
