Scale is a little off.
Don't those things have a wingspan larger than a B-52? |

Looks like a stupid photoshop out of grandpas crusty emails. BTW: Did you see the video of the loop an F-35 did out of VTOL! It was awesome!

Old pic and photochopped; S-3's parked infront of the island and they've been decommissioned for a few years now, and so has the USS Constellation.

Constellation (CV-64) was retired in 2003.
That's a really bad 'shop. Besides, seven B-2s would exceed the value of a whole carrier battle group. |

FAKE! All carrier based aircraft "Must" have wing fold, or other space saving capability. Yes the U-2 did a few carrier trials, but nothing ever became of it. They just wanted to test the pheasability of launching the U-2 from a carrier. To make mission planning easier.

It's too bad Hazegray hasn't been updated in nearly 10 years. It was a great naval site.

FAKE! Thanks for pointing that out. Everyone in the thread was totally fooled by the obvious and shitty photoshop.

The stealth coating of the B2's skin needs special care after flight, it needs environmentally controlled hangars. There are few bases it can operate out of. I don't think a carrier could service it.
