Weird but interesting.

you think it will experience power failiures and blow up, then releasing dust particles all over the galaxy and priving everyone from the sun for a really long time? Prevent disaster! dont name a ship the TCS Krakatoa! :)
 
The St. Helens would blow up, and cause about 1 casualty (besides that of it's crew...). The Vesuvius would fall through the atmosphere and cover some town :).

LOAF, what's the list of the Vesuvius-class supercarriers? How many were there supposed to be, 10?

And that's different from Mt. St. Helens and Vesuvius *how*, exactly? <G>

Well, the Vesuvius is a dormant volcano, it has not erupted since 1944...

Krakatoa has remained fairly active, since that giant explosion back 1883, though little remains from the big crater prior of the explosion...

Finally, Mt. St. Helens is one of the most active volcanoes on the North American Continent.

So there would be a difference on naming the carriers, in order of volcanic activity... :)

But I think RATM was thinking about the fact that the Krakatoa explosion was among the most massive in Earth's history since mankind appeared.
The explosion was heard at least 3,000 miles away, and released an estimated 240 million TNT tons of energy.

Though Krakatoa does not hold the "record". Naming a carrier TCS Tambora would be even better! :cool:

Tambora, erupting in 1815, released an estimated 20,000 million TNT tons, very close to our worst possible war. The world went on as usual, though 1816 was known as "the year without a summer" because crops failed to ripen, perhaps because of a layer of dust in the stratosphere that reflected solar energy.

TCS Vesuvius, TCS Mt. St. Helens, TCS Eisen, TCS McKinley, TCS Fuji, TCS Kilauea, TCS Rainier.

The McKinley, Vesuvius, MSH and Eisen are mentioned in games.
 
Yeah..... I just graduated from high school and have been really busy. right after school got out, i had to go to camp with no computers.........bummer. Then I had to move this past weekend. I am just now getting to log back on. I'm at my girlfriends house and we are both doing stuff on the internet. The cable modem at my new place doesn't get installed until this afternoon.
