Description:	I got the idea for this map from Sigma's "Pearl Harbor". I had already toyed with the idea of a more naval-style CTF map, but hadn't made it yet. Well, here it is.. Each team has two ships- a Carrier and a Cruiser. The cruiser houses the flag, while the carrier acts as the main base and vehicle platform. After the screenshots were taken, a second vpad was added to the carriers. The on-deck shrikes respawn (slowly), but the other vehicles do not. The terrain is mostly water-covered, but there are some small islands, and there is a capturable platform in the center of the map that is equipped with a vpad and turrets. This map makes for a huge change of pace, but is still quite action-packed, well suited to vehicle use, and has something for everyone to do.. :)

sorry. played this on HV. didnt really like it. but the battleship was fairly cool, but its a pity this is serverside. you really could run with this idea if it was clientside.

I love this map. Everything thats good about it has already been said, but it still warrants a good word in edgeways. BTW, is it just me, or does this map look like a map from Battlefield 1942? keep up the good work.

This map looks great! Haven't played it yet, but it looks like the kind of map that makes you wish for destroyable buildings and torpedo bombers! :

k, seeing as it's the 4th and everything i'm gonna keep this somewhat short. I love this map, but it's a pain in the ass for flag d because of the ease of bombing your hard farmed turrets back into turret heaven... there is one small glitch too, the beowolf. buy a beowolf from one of the vbays on the carrier and try driving out into the water. it starts bouncing around like it was on Ceremony or something, i actually have pics of it stuck benieth the water! or is it something you added in as an extra to 'enforce the dogfight' gameplay?

I finally got a chance to play this with a full server. Just a note to server admins- this map seems to work best for about 16 vs 16 I think. It's a little chaotic with 60 players. :)

Great job! I love the atmosphere and "Navy" feel to this map. My only pet peev is that there are not enough guns on the battleship but then again that would make the map unrealistic. Keep them coming Necrobones, and it is on our server rotation!!

I love it, and since I usually host my tribes practise server, my teammates just beg for it! Once again, great work from Necrobones! You wouldn't belive the chaos a single person can create on this map when the defense is lax or non-exisitent. Fly over to the enemy base, drop a satchel in the gen area, detonate it, then just grab a shrike from the carrier! Since the gen is down, you can shred the turrets and sensors. I also enjoy the high potential for aerial dogfights. BEing a dedictaed pilot myself, I fond this map to be perfect for it. Plus, even if your teammates knock out the gens, the enemy can still jump in a shrike and hopelessly try to shoot you down!! Necrobones, keep the maps coming!!!!

This map was eh. So-So. I didn't like the "recreation" of this CTF map from the Pearl Harbor Siege map. And I don't get excited while playing this map either. It like wow, ok, I fly, I cap, wow, that looks like a carrier. ...

Necrobones' maps are the best out there! I have downloaded most of them. A secret: If you have SuperStats and want a boost on vehicle kills to show off to your fellow tribes players, Download Hanger13 and just go into the hangar (Do not touch the lightning rod) and place some type of det bomb in there. Or use a vehicle. I recommend using a mod with good vehicles like Bones Mod or Meltdown X. Blow the vehicles up. Even though you aren't fighting anybody the stats show up!

The best map!!! I love playing this online. It's just like you're in on a carrier. This is the "Pearl Harbor" of the future!

This is an awesome map! The spawned vehicles allow for vehicle hit and run action.

I can't stress how cool this map is! Dl it, and comment! And I think you don't have that problem of walking, that's why there is an objective in the middle.

I just played this map on DWS Skies and this map rocks man it rocks besides when you crash in water and it takes for ever to get back to your base and you need help and its time to press Ctrl-k nooooo! :) but its awsome

I just tried this out again, with some friends, and it is magic. Hop into your shrike and feel like you're taking off from a carrier, and swoop the enemy's carrier and watch everyone scramble for cover. :) Although I wasn't quick enough when my friend did the same thing, and I got a good look for the front of his shrike. :)
