Good point about CVN. I know that I read that designation for that particular class of carrier somewhere; I just can't remember where. And yes, I had similar thoughts about it. I remember coming accross it on a site that also explained the history of the Confederation class TCS Concordia. I remember being surprised that according to this source, anyway, Confed only chose CVS at the last minute, owing to the realization that the fighter carrying capability was more important than the capability of the ship mounted primary weapon.
Hmm, well, I know you will all laugh at me, but Wikipedia for one lists that particular class as CVN. I guess we should edit that!
I still read it on another site somewhere else though...
I agree, however, that CVN does appear to be silly, considering what it stands for today.
I think my problem is that I have, as of late, been rediscovering the Wing Commander universe and so I am hungry for information. It is sometimes difficult I find to evaluate sources of information for any topic, even more so for a topic like Wing Commander. Can anyone offer any suggestions for good wing commander sources? I know that question is broad, but I'm guessing that most here can easily come up with a top five.
