IF there should be a battleship in the game it should ONLY be able to deploy Personel and fighting vehicles like the Hoover crafts the Marines use. Something like that could be cool.
Or an all-out Helicopter vessel. With the SR-61 SAR version helicopter. Chinook troop transport. apache longbow, harrier jump jet. The things they use

I gotta agree - this would be a great thing, but would take some planning as well. 

Let's use Wake as an example.  Bring back the US destroyer as a mobile arty platform.  Take out the regular arty guns (like they could have been set up in the first place).  Give PLA some gunboats that they can try to take out the destroyer.  Also, make the carrier sinkable (after a lot of damage tho).

Another thing - why not have the Essex carry an LCAC or 2?  That would be fitting, and also make for some interesting amphib landings....

I don't know about doing a full-out sea battle - but having some sea battle going on outside of some of the areas would be kinda cool....

when do you ever see @ carrier at sea all by itselft....the answer is never...at least have a destroyer or a cruiser would bee nice too.  Also they need to make the Carrier Bigger.  I mean really it takes only 5 secods on run the width of the damn thing...Carriers are much wider than that.  I could like to make an suggestion for an improvement though.  They need to the do the Battle of Midway with the US vs. China.  This could turn out to be very realistic battle in the near future if China and the US went to War.  The strategic signifigance of this island is very important in the the Pacific...Just ask Japan.  I think that could be a nice battle with Nuclear submarines and Aircraft carriers, destroyers, frigates, cruisers.  Would be a very fun map indeed to play.  It was one of my fav on BF1942.  I think with combining the land attacks and the naval and air battles would make for some great fun.  Also you should be able to load up tanks into boats or transports heli's to take the to island...that would be awesome.!!!

Actually, the Essex in the game isn't a Carrier - it's an LPH.  They are much smaller than carriers, although the general design is similar.  LPHs are smaller, as they are constructed to be carriers for VTOL aircraft and rotary-wing aircraft.  Another notable difference is the well deck for launching and recovering boats and landing craft - that isn't there on a carrier.

Oh - and max width on a full-sized carrier is only about 250' - you can run that in about 5 seconds :)

I think they should really put submarines in the game.  It'd be kind of like a plane because it would be hard to control but they could have different kinds, like a transport one, and an attack one.

There is a transport sub called the NAVY SEAL transport it contains: 4 passengers, 1 pilot, and 1 navigator.
The irony of guns, is that they can save lives.

LOL...umm so your telling me that you can run 83 yards in 5 seconds...in that case you should sign up for the olympics because you would be the fastest man alive.  LOL.
