A Planes Discussion: "CV-10"

Did anybody else see this in the background of this scene? I've only just realized this while casually rewatching the film with friends for the anniversary last night. This is a really shitty image quality but there's a thing painted on Skipper's hangar.

Me: "wait wait wait look! Look it- it's the- the- the boat dude! That's the thing on the boat dude!!!"

It says "CV-10"

(here's another, clearer photo of the number on the right of the CV, because I didn't believe it actually said 10 but it absolutely does.)

As pointed out by @ask-shu-todoroki this actually is NOT a reference to the Flysenhower like I originally thought. Flysenhower is CVN-81.

This is CV-10.

So yes, the next question was of course: "Who the FUCK is CV-10 then???"

And this is what CV-10, as wikipedia states, actually is:

This is the USS Yorktown, which was only in service for five years (1943-1947) during WWII. She was since striken and is now a museum site at Patriots Point in Mount Pleasant, SC.

I have no clue why this ship's a part of Skipper's hangar decor, but aside from it being either an animator's mistake or a nod to the ship itself from them, it could either be there because

A) Skipper is just a history buff and likes/appreciates this other ship, or has had some history and experience with it, or

B) Someone lived in his hangar before him that had something to do with CV-10 (given the ship would be significantly older than both real-world Eisenhower and WoC Flysenhower)

So YEAH that's pretty interesting

Many of the mixed white middle class teenagers don't even know what communism really is, but support it just to join the "Fuck Capitalism" parade. If only they knew.

the problem is its teenagers who think communism means you can stay home doing nothing, while the government gives you free money.

Big E... she's a Yorktown class right? Also was she officially in the Pearl Harbor attack? (and what do you think on the decision to scrap her..)

Yup, Yorktown-class. USS Enterprise CV-6. She was at sea on 7 December 1941, and so she did not get caught in the attack. (good thing)

About her scrapping, I think I answered that before.
