    Soviet or Russian larger carriers

    Hi all was there any way that either the Soviet navy or the follow on Russian navy put at least two full sized carriers to sea on an ongoing basis? An example of a full sized carrier in the context of this post would be the Forrestal class

    What if Palestine had been a French rather than British LoN mandate

    As it says in the title, what if France rather than Britain got the Palestine mandate? The Balfour declaration would be of the table for sure however how would it have change history?

    WI The USS United States had been not been cancelled?

    If the USS United States (CVA-58) had not been cancelled in April 1949 and the Korean war still happens in 1950 how would the design have changed (be that before launch or afterwards) ? Would they have added an island at some stage?

    China's contribution to Japans defeat in WW2

    I have seen many references to how the USSR bled Germany dry in WW2. I am curious to the contribution that China made. To be more precise I wonder about troops etc that Japan had in China that may have made large difference if they were else where

    W Germany declared was on the Rep of Ireland?

    There was been a number of threads where the objective seems to be to get RoI into world war 2 on the side of the allies. I think all of them come at it from the angle of Ireland declaring war. I don't think that's very feasible however what if its Germany to declare war first? The PoD I have in...

    Yamamoto's sleeping giant quote

    That quote "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve" makes me wonder what other high ranking Axis commanders recognised early in WW2 that they were going to lose. Is any one aware of evidence that others did indeed see that they were going to...

    WI WW2 continues into 1946 - US Navy

    As per the title, if WW2 continued into 1946 how would the US Navy have developed? Its reasonable to assume that the last of the Essex class would have been completed as would the other three Midway. After that what next? more Midways or would they have started to design a new carrier class...

    WI Apollo Plus

    This idea may be of crazy however never hurts to ask. WI after the 1969 moon landings Nixon tells NASA that he wanted to see them put five people on the moon. Would this approach work? Have the last of the Apollo CSM`s and Saturn V`s NASA built as well have a airlock designed and built. The...

    WI The Space shuttle saves Skylab from destruction

    If by have an incredible run of good luck the Shuttle was ready to reach Skylab in time and boosted it in a higher orbit (which I think was one plan) how much use would it be to NASA and how long would it be used for. Another question is would NASA have got a module built so that the Shuttle...

    WI No tobacco from the new world

    As the title asks, WI tobacco or more to the point smoking never caught on? Of the of my head that would mean no tobacco plantations and hence it has to have an impact on slavery.

    A different North Korea

    I was wondering about the following; In the mid 60`s a senior highly decorated North Korean officer over trows the the N Gov and takes North Korea down a line quite close to Yugoslavia . Drivers for this would be that he looks to the north and see the PRC and thinks to himself - I`m not that...

    Essex class carriers in other navies

    I am far from sure what that the various Essex class carriers were in when they were retired but seeing as the Lexington stayed in service until 1991 my guess would be that at least the ones that build towards the end of WW2 would have some life left in them. That being true how plausible would...
