Iran is building a fake aircraft carrier...

I, defer to grumbler on this, but isn't the most important feature of the nimitz carrier not it's nature of being a floating air strip but rather it's ability to sail upwind at 30 knots while launching and retrieving aircraft allowing it to launch two engined super sonic fighters rather than small single person cessnas.

Plenty of carriers other than the Nimitz class could do that;  what it's most important feature is the ability to not need to be refueled for years.

100k tons at 30knts is a class only the Nimitzes and Fords can pull off.

I think what you're trying to get at is that most modern carriers don't have traditional catapults and arrestor gear, so they're limited to operating helicopters and V/STOL aircraft rather than conventional fixed-wing airplanes.  But a ship doesn't have to be 100,000 tons to have catapults--outside the US fleet carriers, the French and Brazilian navies both have a carrier with catapults.

How will they make a Top Gun without homosexuals?

They'll replace the volleyball scene with prayer time.

Stop! Prayer time.

No, the hidden 12th imam saves the day.

Good point, these are the heretics we're talking about.
