A bunch of tanks trying to deploy from a amphibious carrier, but they're stuck because one guy can't figure out how to pay his ticket.
thats basically already what they are, most aircraft carriers have at least one other level on the inside where aircraft are stored and maintained, and there is usually a big paved elevator platform to move aircraft between the flight deck and the interior hangars
We gotta get more ambitious than that though. 20 stories minimum.

The name Ecuador Hat was already taken, presumably by a prog rock band with an aggressive legal team.
Actually it's because you'd otherwise not be able to have any air support over most of the ocean.
hmm now why might a country like america need a bunch of air support so far from its borders all the time? most other countries seem to get along fine with only one or two carriers or none at all...
But that war ended a long, long time ago. And they kept building aircraft carriers. Why would Americans do this?
