The text of the image in the 3rd post say that "up to 12 could be accommodated on an Essex class carrier while its warplanes are on a mission".


It also describes what the aircraft was for, and how it would be used.


The tailfin is a non-issue... as the AJ Savage and A-3 Skywarrior, which both operated from Essex class carriers, had tall tailfins that folded for moving to the hangar... just like was proposed for the C-123 COD.


The A-5 Vigilante and the S-3 Viking likewise had large tailfins that folded.
