Three Classes

Strike Fighters only has three ship models for carriers.

SCB-125 Essex class for CVS-11 Intrepid, CVA-14 Ticonderoga, CVA-19 Hancock, CVS-20 Bennington, CVA-34 Oriskany which are all actually SCB-125 Essex class!

It gets wonky later.  All of the super carriers for 'Nam are represented by a Kitty Hawk class.

This is appropriate for CVA-63 Kitty Hawk, CVA-64 Constellation, and CVA-66 America.

CVA-41 Midway, CVA-42 Franklin D Roosevelt, and CVA-43 Coral Sea are all Midway Class and all got the SCB-110 upgrade.  They're a lot smaller than a Kitty Hawk and the deck profile is completely different.

CVA-59 Forrestal, CVA-60 Saratoga, CVA-61 Ranger and CVA-62 Independence are all Forrestal Class and shorter than Kitty Hawk with a different deck layout.  Closer than the Midways though!

The real shame is CVAN-65 Enterprise.  Enterprise is a unique class with a distinctive island in Linebacker I and II.  They used Kitty Hawk again and even has the stack smoke!  BWAH!?!

CVN-68 Nimitz is represented by a Nimitz class model, so she's correct.

I should see if some enterprising modder has made models for the Midways and Forrestals and Enterprise.

Before someone stomps me for it...  During Vietnam carriers were CVA not CV I checked.
