| The Sixth Battle | comment |
1992 novel by Barrett Tillmann, an American historian who had earlier wrote Warriors (about a Middle East air war) and co-authored a history of carrier aviation in The Vietnam War.Arguably the first Make the Bear Angry Again novel, the story involves a war fought between South Africa and its neighbouring states with aid from the Union of Eurasian Republics, a somewhat reconstituted USSR.Focussing on the crew of a fictional Forrestal-class carrier, USS Langley as it takes part in the war, it's an astonishing well-researched book. Langley must survive against five Eurasian carriers. It's actually sunk, but the surviving air wing gets to land before it happens, where they help force a stalemate.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) | |

Ace Pilot: Quite a few on both sides, amongst bomber, fighter, and helicopter drivers. The best are probably F-14 Tomcat pilot and RIO Ozzie and Fido. | |

Dying Moment of Awesome: The guided-missile frigate USS Meyring takes a Russian heavy torpedo for Langley. Meyring is torn in half, blown completely out of the water, and lost with all hands. Then the Russian sub reloads and puts two more into the carrier. | |

Bottomless Magazines: Thoroughly averted as Langley's outnumbered escorts run out of missiles after stopping several Russian air strikes against the Battle Group. Unfortunately, the AEGIS VLS systems that allow cruisers and destroyers to engages dozens of air targets with antiair missiles simultaneously also happen to be ridiculously difficult to reload at sea. One by one, they run out of long-range SM-2 missiles, then medium-range RIM-7 Sea Sparrows, then close-range Rolling Airframe Missiles and 20mm ammo for the CIWS guns. Then... | |
