Default Did you know this-I didn't know it

While searching for info about a British sub who manage to sink a carrier in an exercise, I found this page

i know you found the article on the web and if it's on the web, it must be truth.
however, the only Swedish aircraft carrier that was ever identified, by anyone, is Gotland, and it is an island.

https://www.quora.com/How-many-aircr...es-Sweden-have

the photo at the kristoffer's universe looks remarkably like a Nimitz-class carrier from the Cold War era.
one can see the A-6's and F-14's parked on the flight deck.

You know I did my military service in the Swedish Navy from 87 to 88.
I was in Carlscrona Naval School-Or in Swedish KÖS for short

The Connie, huh? i missed that detail, however i could not possibly miss the distinctive US-design of the flight deck as well as the parked aircraft. no one but the US flies (or flew) A-6's.
