I don't think that class of ship could have a nuclear reactor. We got a WW2 era ship, which was designed before the bomb was invented...
So I am not sure how likely that ship is nuclear.
Wait, seriously.... I forgot it was that old..... Whoops... Perhaps forget the other options on my post. Good catch @Themarineguy
Wait, where was it confirmed that this was a WW2 carrier? can someone please let me know? I didn't even realize we knew it was an essex class
(Yeah, I honestly just latched onto the fact that I remembered most/all american carriers nowadays were nuclear powered, and went to town. Damn, I should've double checked before writing all that)

You decided to let HeroCookie make you roll so now suffer the consequence
Didn't this work out? I thought high rolls meant worse performance? So nobody else really knows how to make mechs, when the time comes? Or did I read those rolls wrong?

Here, we learned the ship was the Iwo Jima, an Essex class that started construction in 1945.Though when it finished construction is unknown since IRL it got scrapped since the war was over during construction and it wasn't needed anymore.
The mech rolls were about how they'd react to finding out mechs are possible, with higher meaning more push to try and make work. Which means that Europe just shrugs and tests viability, japan goes full speed ahead, and US...
They get mech fever and start dumping buckets of R&D money to try and make it work. For all we know, the Air force might try to get in on the mech action due to the sheer amount of money being tossed that way...
And oh, it was his rolls that started this incident as well.

You have no idea the Number of Problems the US can Solve with enough Money and Experts.
Far too many have been solved and created by that Maxim.
Throwing Money at a problem is American because it works. A Good portion of the time.

Thank you @Themarineguy for going above and beyond and finding all this info. Anyways, I'll remove my options for nuclear carriers. It's probably a good thing the carrier isn't nuclear powered, in the end

They got the money, they got the WILL. When they find out, its only gonna be a matter of time whenever the US cracks the secret to mechs.
Japan may have the memes, but they merely rolled about 97ish, and don't have the raw money and/or size to compete with nat 100 will US.
As much as I like the idea of fleeceing the America government and the unwitting tourists for their money, trying to get them addicted to our food is probably best left to the local level as an organic thing, with us already setting up field kitchens that are making local cuisine anyway, and we are trying to not look like evil communists with ulterior motives too, so I would drop those and trying to get stuff to "fall off" the ship they are likely keeping an eye on the entire time.

I would like to emphasize this point. We know that the americans have painted our actions in a terrible light before, and we really need to get ahead of that. I suggest that we make it clear that we have offered transportation for any american sailors out of the country, and that any diplomatic discussion we are currently are having has to do with the ship, and the damage it has done to our shores. We must emphasize that we are not keeping anyone prisoner
edit: Okay, edited my original point to 'remove' the nuclear carrier options, and to emphasize the face that we want traceable avenues to prove any american propoganda wrong

You depending on how good of a roll we get on thr impression we leave on the sailors we could end up being able to set up the Vegas of the eastern pacific as a way to fianace our nation. We could set up a neutral port for with hotels, casinos and other services to draw in captial to help boost the rest of our economy.

But then we would be capitalists!?
And that would work against us. Unless were going to pull a china in the 70's/80's
I feel as if we are a bit too close to China for that to work. Letting foreigners in will already be a security nightmare (hiding our mechs)
Now imagine how much worse it will be as china demands full access for counter intelligence purposes.
It's going to turn into a clusterfuck, is what I am saying.
I don't want us to be tied at the hip to the Chinese, but I feel as if we must pay some lip service to their needs. We already have too many eyes on us. We don't need to give access to everyone by becoming 'neutral'
Edit: to be fair, I would like if we could emphasize our various cultural values. It would be a nice counterpart to the response to the stonewall riots. Perhaps a positive roll could emphasize that struggle, and spur more focus on LGBTQ equality? It would be interesting if the sailors came back and had ... Questions about why America had so much gender and LGBTQ discrimination.
But we'd only be able to get that on an insanely good roll

Birds Squaking:
Capt Alan Cirino, and his RSO, Capt Bruce Liebman were both sitting down, relaxing in the common room that was serving as their impromptu home for the last several days, They had been confined to quarters, and forced to remain in the said impromptu home until further notice, as the Base Commander was getting a dressing down from Westmorland himself.
Sure the US Army appreciated the fact that the intel that was given to them by him and his RSO was decent enough to not only save a hundred lives from a Viet Cong Ambush, but also was vital in locating the missing aircraft carrier that was pulled away from its duty station, by what can only be described, by the Commander and Admiral Mccain, as, and he quoted 'An act of god!'
Sure that was accurate, seeing as somehow, the Navy decided to run a storm they knew damn well was going to morph into a Typhoon.
Guangchou on the other hand had given them ample warning and the intel that they gained from local, translated weather reports were not only accurate but downright prophetic.
The Irony was not lost on anyone when they returned to base.
"Hey Bruce, what the hell is the CO taking so long to just us go back to Barracks, I have been wearing the same uniform for three days, and they won't let us even do laundry." He said as he sniffed himself. He then stroked his chin. "Not even a shave too, what the hell is so important that we are kept here until God himself comes down from heaven to relive us."
"Alan…at this point, be glad we have TV and Books, we'd have gone crazy otherwise?" He said.
At that moment, the CO came in. "Ten hut!" Alan shouted, and both he and his comrade stood at attention. Followed by over half a dozen men in suits, and civilian clothes.
The CO looked at them in weary pity. "At ease…" He looked drained as he wiped his sweat from his brow. "Boy, sorry, but you're still going to be confined here until they are finished, and unfortunately, I can't help you anymore."
Alan frowned. "Sir, who are these-"
"Five times above my paygrade, and despite my protesting, they seem to think that the only way they are-"
"That will be all general." The man in charge stated as he cut him off. "Gentlemen, take a seat, and forget everything about conduct right now that isn't pertaining to any information that I am about to talk to you about."
"General?" Bruce questioned.
"Unfortunately boys, for the time being, your the CIA's problem." He stopped. "I want my pilots back in one piece."
"We're all on the same side here General." The man in charge.
"So it seems your making it more difficult to get our boys out…You CIA types are only trouble." The CO said.
"General, if you are done complaining about what is needed, then you may leave." The man stated.
"HIGH COM will hear of this…you didn't even give these men a shower." He said.
"When the fate of the Free world is at risk, I'm sure these men can tough it up without a shower." The man in charge stated. "Can we have the room?"
"The Conference Room is more comfortable then-" The General started.
"No, here will be fine, it's safe." The man stated. "Now leave us, General. You don't have codeword clearance."
"Neither do a dozen airmen waiting outside to whoop your ass if these men aren't given their Airforce Debrief…you may have the ear of the Joint Cheifs but these are my men and this is my base." He said.
"Noted, get out." The man stated before he looked at the two officers. "Gentlemen, start from the top, and don't worry, we brought copies of those shitty photos you took."
"Is this about the Iwo Jima?" Bruce asked.
"Other men in other departments are working on the Iwo Jima, I want to talk to you about these curious metal rocks."
---------------------------------------------------------
The debrief was more than enough to bore the two men to tears. "And that's what we got."
"What do you think they are?"
Alan and Bruce traded a glance. "We told you, we had a debate whether they were AA turrets or some kind of vanity project for their Glorious Leader."
There was a whisper. "From the Pentagon, they've been given the nod."
"Are you sure? That's well above what these men should know. Or even consider knowing?"
"Considering the SR-71, and information they brought back? They consider them assets now."
Alan looked at Bruce. "I don't like where this is going."
Bruce nodded. "Yeah, they make more money than us."
The two men then noticed the briefcase and a man with a handcuff on it. "It's here."
A moment later, it opened. "Gentlemen, what you are about to hear is a secret only known to ten men still alive." He then showed a photograph.
"In 1944, Nazi Scientists from Germany theorized that there was a possible new wave of armored vehicles that could turn the tide of the World War. We assumed that the product was merely in the design phase when the War ended, and after the war, we scooped up any and all assets we could be related to the Project." He said. "Two scientists were unaccounted for, presumed dead Magnus Hirschfeld and Arthur Kronfeld"
"Wait…weren't they mentioned in…Sexual-" Alan started.
"Unrelated to the Project or the situation at large get your head out of your ass." He said. "The less said about THAT portion of Operation Paperclip the better."
The two men looked at each other again, this time, feeling very uncomfortable. "Well, what are we getting into?" Alan asked.
"What you saw, we presume, was the Laufpanzer prototype that we believed was unfinished during the war. We all thought it was ramblings and drawing from board engineers and scientists. As of three days ago, we have learned that it is not only real but replicable. And above all, not in American hands."
Bruce then raised his hand. "Did the scientists get talked to?"
"Yes. But, due to the poor quality of the pictures and time passage… they were no help. Though the design documents collaborated something similar, nothing concrete at this moment." the man replied. "Right now, as of five minutes ago, you have been transferred to a New Taskforce, designated 'Surveyor, and you will be transferred to a specialist command, outside of normal Airforce command. You work for us."
"And if we refuse?" Alan asked.
"You will go back to your unit, signing a waiver of silence, and you will never see me again."
"All for seeing something the CIA didn't want us to see?" Alan stated. "I thought you guys did violent shit to people you didn't like?"
"A common misconception, but we don't target our own. We bully them." The man laughed. "We work in the dark to keep the world clean. And besides, SR-71 pilots are hard to come by."
"I'm in." Bruce said.
Alan took a moment to think. "Fuck it, I'm in too."
"Good." the man stated. "And all I will say is this: You call me Goose."
"Why do they call you Goose?" Alan asked.
"Because I raise hell wherever I go." He replied.
AN: @HeroCooky you mad lad, here is an omake that took less than an hour to write.
I hope you are happy with this, because I most certainly am not.
I can't believe that I would skip a quest update and do this!
I never skip updates!
And THank you @Cyberphilosipher
