Strike Fighters only has three ship models for carriers.
SCB-125 Essex class for CVS-11 Intrepid, CVA-14 Ticonderoga, CVA-19 Hancock, CVS-20 Bennington, CVA-34 Oriskany which are all actually SCB-125 Essex class!
It gets wonky later. All of the super carriers for 'Nam are represented by a Kitty Hawk class.
This is appropriate for CVA-63 Kitty Hawk, CVA-64 Constellation, and CVA-66 America.
CVA-41 Midway, CVA-42 Franklin D Roosevelt, and CVA-43 Coral Sea are all Midway Class and all got the SCB-110 upgrade. They're a lot smaller than a Kitty Hawk and the deck profile is completely different.
CVA-59 Forrestal, CVA-60 Saratoga, CVA-61 Ranger and CVA-62 Independence are all Forrestal Class and shorter than Kitty Hawk with a different deck layout. Closer than the Midways though!
The real shame is CVAN-65 Enterprise. Enterprise is a unique class with a distinctive island in Linebacker I and II. They used Kitty Hawk again and even has the stack smoke! BWAH!?!
CVN-68 Nimitz is represented by a Nimitz class model, so she's correct.
I should see if some enterprising modder has made models for the Midways and Forrestals and Enterprise.
Before someone stomps me for it... During Vietnam carriers were CVA not CV I checked.
