I give you the USS Petrof Bay! With Flyable F6F Hellcat!!!
Background
USS Petrof Bay (CVE-80) was the twenty-sixth of fifty Casablanca-class escort carriers built for the United States Navy during World War II. She was named after Petrof Bay, which in turn was named in 1928 after Ivan Petroff, a Russian Alaskan who served as a special census agent for the 1880 United States census. The bay is located within Kuiu Island, which at the time was a part of the Territory of Alaska.[3] The ship was launched in January 1944, commissioned in February, and served in support of the Mariana and Palau Islands campaign, the Philippines campaign, including the Battle off Samar, the Battle of Iwo Jima, and the Battle of Okinawa. She was decommissioned in July 1946, when she was mothballed in the Atlantic Reserve Fleet. Postwar, she participated in Operation Magic Carpet. Ultimately, she was broken up in September 1959.

@Itzarock Thanks, Friend!
@VRCaPable go right ahead buddy
Hey, @Itzarock! I was wondering if you would allow me to take this amazing build of yours and make it VR capable! Id have to cut down the part count by removing some of the smaller details but I think it might be an interesting thing to convert for all the Quests out there. And I'd love to sail this around myself with a fully VR functional bridge!
looks like the in game "USS Tiny" in some way
@Itzarock
Sent pictures!
@Hahahahaahahshs literally
USS Tiny but bigger lol
the landing was fire on the multiplayer server
Well, enjoy the Air Force
